In Receipt of a Marriage Certificate after 25 Years

I would thoroughly recommend this company; I was married in the Dominican Republic, sadly my late husband passed away and I desperately needed my Marriage Certificate which Steve and his team were able to locate for me even 25 years later. I am so grateful for their hard work and dedication, without the Marriage Certificate, legalities in the UK would have been so much more difficult to complete. I have much admiration for this company.

DCS alleviated what could have been a red tape journey had we done it alone... Smooth and pleasant experience. Kudos!

Yes, we were happy to receive the package Monday afternoon! Thank you so much for the prompt cooperation; coupled with the dutiful kind communication. Al is extremely relieved this is now resolved (he's a worry wart lol). I have made sure these documents will be well protected moving forward. It was a pleasure working with you and I cant thank you enough for such a smooth transaction and process.

Very speedy service requesting a Divorce Certificate.

I got an International Divorce in the Dominican Republic a few years ago. I needed a long form divorce certificate for immigration purposes to live with my new husband in the US. Steve was on the ball even before I had paid the first fee. He was very helpful on the phone and explained the process in detail and gave updates all along. The process only took about two weeks and my husband in the US had the document in his hands. I cannot even imagine how much longer it would have taken if I had written to the Civil Records Office in Santo Domingo instead and requested it from them.
Steve from Scotland can be fully trusted. The service was top!

Thanks Steven…

I am dealing with Steven for more than 3 years. He helped me alot. He is professional and got many connections. In Covid 19 pandamic. I was not able to travel to renew my passport and issue my son his 1st passport. He helped me to get the birth certificates for me and my son, send it via DHL and was following the receivable of them. Thanks Steven for all the support.

We contacted the service via their website and Steve explained what was necessary via WhatsApp and text. Clearly it is concerning dealing with a company so far away, but rest assured this service was great. Paid with Sterling too! Delivery to the UK is no problem.

Extremely unprofessional and shady!

Extremely unprofessional and does not communicate properly. This man Steve McQueen over charges from $210 USD for ONE birth certificate. When in Dominican Pesos the birth certificate will cost about $9 USD. And then has the audacity to send the documents through INPOSDOM which is one of the slowest and most unreliable carriers. The cost to send through INPOSDOM is about $20 USD. Now do the math. This man's services are terrible. He has an attitude and over charges. And is very shady. He needs to be put out of business. Have trusted friend or family member send important documents for you if at all possible. And do not use INPOSDOM for important documents. Avoid this man at all costs. The other reviews are probably fake. PayPal had to refund me my money due to his lack of professionalism and shadiness.

I feel compelled to address this inaccurate review as it presents a concerning mischaracterization of events.

The facts: The client privately expressed frustration to me over processing time during the pandemic when government institutions were not yet working normal schedules - a crucial context she chose to omit from this review in favour of other claims that misrepresent our service.

After I had shipped her documents on a Friday, the client filed a PayPal dispute over the weekend. When informed by me that her documents had been shipped, she expressed disbelief and stated she would only cancel the dispute upon receipt. Given previous experiences where clients have not honoured similar promises, and considering her apparent distrust despite our proven track record, I retrieved the documents from the post office Monday morning before they left for delivery. The client received both a full refund and scanned copies of her documents, making her complaints about pricing particularly puzzling.

The review's claim about our prices betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of professional document retrieval services. While a certificate itself may cost a nominal fee, our service involves extensive work navigating complex bureaucratic systems, conducting thorough research across multiple institutions, and ensuring document authenticity. This is why we've successfully served nearly 3,000 clients over 12+ years, maintaining an overwhelmingly positive rating on TrustPilot.

The combination of this client refusing to believe documents were shipped, filing a hasty PayPal dispute, and ultimately receiving both a full refund AND the scans of her documents raises questions about the motivations behind this review. We invite potential clients to review our extensive history of successful cases and genuine customer feedback, which paint a more accurate picture of our professional standards and reliability.

I stand by my work, my pricing, and my reputation earned through over a decade of dedicated service to thousands of satisfied clients.

Clear communications

Clear communications, rapid response on questions by e-mails. Steve has been a great help with the legalization of a Jamaican birth certificate at the Dutch embassy. And arranged fast and secure shipping to The Netherlands.

I needed a copy of my birth certificate…

I needed a copy of my birth certificate with the apostille under urgent conditions and travelling to the D.R. was going to turn out to be a very expensive and difficult option. Steve responded to my request within minutes to gather more information from me. He was very professional and courteous. Explained the process and kept me informed the entire time. I received my expedited documents on time and I'm very pleased. The investment is an excellent value considering the alternative of travelling and waiting in person. Highly recommend this service.

Looking for my marriage Certificate

I had a vague idea of dates of my marriage being a bloke! Yet they still came back to me with the correct details quickly, they spotted errors with names on the certificate and got them corrected. I get that some may have a fear factor of paying a lot of money up front, but they do it in sections depending on what you want, Steve was a star, kept in touch by WhatsApp and email. I now have the papers for my divorce and would highly recommend them. I won’t say I will use them again incase my new partner sees!

Total rip off

He rips you off by sending a cert with wrong details then asks for more money for there mistake use at your own risk and waste your own money on him. I’d rather pay to go to 🇩🇲 myself do not trust. The mistake was they send the result in Spanish so all I could make out was the dates it was only when I paid EXTRA for it in English that I realised the mistake and then they asked for more money for there mistake RIP OFF

Iain is only telling part of the story. As is our custom, we sent him a draft printout of his marriage record, and we asked him to check it for mistakes [which are common on Dominican documents, especially where non-Hispanic names are involved]. He informed us of no issues, and proceeded to pay for his marriage certificate. It was only once he had received the documents that he took the time to read them, and see that there were mistakes which he hadn't bothered to notice when given the opportunity to. He then proceeded to ask us for corrections to be made, and did not want to pay for this, nor for a new certificate.

I would refer visitors to judge us based on the huge volume of reviews which overwhelmingly praise our services.

Fantastic Service

I work for a legal firm and required a copy of my client's marriage certificate for them to obtain a divorce.

I received a fantastic service received from Steve and his team. They were quick to respond to my emails and helpful all of the way.

The documents were shipped via DHL, due to issues with the international postal service during COVID 19, and were received within one week of shipping.

The only thing I will say is that the Dominican Registrar was a little difficult and would not amend a spelling error on the transcript of the certificate when I pointed it out (they refused to accept that the letter was a 'D' and not an 'O'), but this was no fault of Steve and the service he provides.

Great 👌

To be honest I was sceptical at first and afraid it was a scam but received what I needed (criminal background certificate) in short time! Great service and emails are returned quick at all times. Absolutely reliable. Would recommend to anybody needing a document from DR. Thank you!
