Old certificate (historical registry 1880–2022)
Parents' and grandparents' certificates. The historical registry is digitized, but finding the right entry is research work — our specialty.
What's included
- ✓ Locating the entry in the historical registry
- ✓ Official historical-registry certificate
- ✓ If not found: official certificate of non-existence and we refund our fee
Your real alternative isn't the official fee: it's a consular appointment weeks away, a lost workday, or a law firm. Here it gets done without leaving home.
What you're paying for
Official fees: $8 historical + $35 exterior certificate (to be confirmed on your receipt).
This fee has variable components: we confirm it before charging and any difference appears on your receipt with proof.
Can I do it myself? ▸
Most people who hire us can't use the State channel for one of these reasons: expired DUI (no one can renew it for you — it's biometric), no active Digital Identity, a U.S. card the system rejects, or a name mismatch in the registry.
If none of that applies to you: The historical registry costs $8 at simple.sv if you know exactly where the record is. Our value: finding it.

We tell you all this because we'd rather you hire us knowing, not blind.
Turnaround: 5–10 business days
