The Instituto de Medicina Legal
Cuban forensic work runs through the Instituto de Medicina Legal and the forensic services of the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of the Interior, and reports carry institutional headers and case numbers.
Cuban institutions are state institutions and the report is a state determination. We name the institute and the department.
Peritaje in civil and labour matters
Cuban courts obtain expert evidence by peritaje, and labour and disability matters are determined by peritaje médico laboral commissions whose decisions are administrative rather than judicial.
A US reader may receive either and they are different instruments. We name which and the body that issued it.
Access, and what survives
Obtaining records from Cuba after emigration is frequently difficult, and where a client can only obtain a summary or a partial report we translate that, named for what it is.
We do not present a fragment as a complete determination.
The carné, and legalisation
Experts and parties are identified by carné de identidad number, eleven digits built from the date of birth plus a serial.
Cuba is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so documents go through consular legalisation and those stamps are translated with the rest. See our Cuban birth certificate page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
