Certificate ready for U.S. use (digital)
Your birth, marriage or death certificate: obtained, reviewed, delivered as PDF. No apostille (an apostille is an international stamp some countries require to accept a foreign document); U.S. federal recipients don't ask for one.
What's included
- ✓ Official certificate obtained ($35 fee included)
- ✓ Accuracy review against your documents
- ✓ Digital delivery with online tracking
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 fee: $35 if your record is already in the RNPN system (you can do this yourself at simple.sv with a valid Digital Identity). If your record still exists only in the municipal book — common for older entries — the fee is $3.50, but the process is in person and takes longer: we go for you and the published price does not change.
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: Do it yourself: simple.sv, $35, requires a valid Salvadoran Digital Identity.

We tell you all this because we'd rather you hire us knowing, not blind.
Turnaround: 3–5 business days (7–10 if your record is only in the municipal book)
