- We handle the agreed document and apostille procedure in Peru.
- Receive your scanned PDF; arrange the original if needed.
The civil record of a death
The document offered here is the acta de defunción recorded in the civil register. It is different from the medical certificate used to register the death. Send us the wording of the requirement if you are unsure which document you need.
RENIEC and municipal records
We check whether RENIEC holds the record. If the register has not been incorporated into RENIEC, the copy may need to be obtained from the municipality where the death was registered. We confirm the route and expected timing first.
PDF or original: tell us what you need
The service includes a scanned PDF sent by email or WhatsApp. If the receiving institution needs the paper original, we can arrange DHL or FedEx shipping, or collection at our Lima office. We confirm courier cost and delivery estimates for your address before dispatch.
An apostille authenticates the signature and capacity of the official who signed the document. It does not guarantee approval of an application. The recipient decides which document, translation and format it accepts. Where the Apostille Convention does not apply, ask us about the legalization route.
