Foreigners in../ Recording in Chile/ Chile's Registry...

Before the Chile's Civil Registry and Identification Service
 

This procedure allows for the process of two formalities at the same time:
 
 
1.
Directly before the Civil Registry Office in Santiago's district
 
 
For this purpose, the interested party should submit the following documents:
 
 

General:
 
 

Original certificates of birth, marriage or death that are going to be recorded, duly authenticated and translated if they are drawn up in another language, other than Spanish. Any of these certificates are going to be the basis for the requested inscription.

 
 

Special:
 
 
Birth
Enclose current birth certificates of the Chilean father or mother in order to guarantee the condition of a Chilean Citizen's children, born abroad, of the person whose birth is to be recorded (Political Constitution, article 10 n° 1).
Parents marriage certificate, if they have been married in Chile.

Identification Card of the petitioner for the record, which should be the father or mother of the person being recorded.

 
 
 
 
Marriage

One or both of the current birth certificates of the Chilean spouses.

The request should be requested at least by one of the spouses. At the moment of the recording, the Regulation of Goods is established by agreement for both spouses. If there is only one petitioner, or both and they do not make a statement in this regard, the regulation is understood as the total Separation of Goods.However, both spouses can draw up a certificate before the Civil Officer, in order to agree either the Joint Ownership of Goods by husband and wife or Participation in the Joint Goods.
 
 
 
 
Death
Defunct Current birth certificate.
If the defunct was married, the marriage certificate is needed.
If the deceased was widowed, then the spouse's death certificate is neededd.

The recording can be requested by any person being adult, and thus the legal age of 18, in addition to showing a current Identification Card.

 

 

 
2.
By writing a requirement submitted to any Chilean Civil Registry Office throughout the country
 
 
Taking into consideration that a birth, marriage or death inscription has occurred abroad, its recording can only be done in the competent office responsible for that particular Register. Currently, the Santiago's Civil Registry and Identification can, exceptionally, accept the request, always when the person is providing in advance the above mentioned documents, before any Civil Registry Office throughout the country. For this purpose, a document called “Writing Requirement” should be filled out. Through the use of this document, the appropriate Civil Officer would be requested to effectuate the above-mentioned registration. In this way, the necessity of coming to the capital (Santiago) for performing the transaction is avoided.
