Birth certificates issued and certified by PSA have no expiration date. However, entities such as the Department of Foreign Affairs and embassies require the birth certificate copy not to be older than six months from the date of payment.
The Government of Puerto Rico recently passed a law invalidating all Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, and replacing them with enhanced security birth certificates with features to combat passport fraud and identity theft.
In an effort to reduce fraud involving Puerto Rican birth records, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico passed a law (191 of 2009) that limits the issuance and use of certified birth certificates. Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010 are no longer valid.
Under a new law in Puerto Rico, all Puerto Rico-issued birth certificates dated before July 1, 2010, will be cancelled as of October 30, 2010, so that new, more secure certificates can be re-issued. Until that date, all birth certificates will remain valid.
