The full Central Electoral Board (JCE) has accepted the suggestions made by the Commission of Registry Offices that established standards for transcribing marriages celebrated before and after the 1954 Concordat with the Roman Catholic Church.
The electoral magistrates have established the new requirements to prevent the marriage registrations from being used for illegal reasons.
For post-1954 marriages to be transcribed, they must not have been entered into any of the Civil Registries located in the jurisdiction of the parish. The new rules require the presentation of the matrimonial text issued by the parish, duly legalized by the corresponding dioceses or in the case of the National District or the province of Santo Domingo, by the archdioceses.
The new regulations were drawn up in response to the frequent use of marriage certificates to authenticate relationships for visas, residence permits, inheritance issues and so forth.
