This is the US system
Puerto Rico is a US jurisdiction, so the ADA applies, Social Security disability determinations are made by the federal programme, and there is no foreign certificate, no apostille and no consular legalisation.
An office treating a Puerto Rican disability document as foreign has misunderstood where Puerto Rico is, and we would rather say so than charge for treating it as one.
What Puerto Rico adds locally
Puerto Rico maintains its own registry of persons with disabilities and issues local documents — a disabled parking identification, and determinations under Puerto Rico law for local programmes and educational services.
Those are Puerto Rico documents rather than federal ones and they serve local purposes. We name the issuing agency and what the document determines.
When a translation is genuinely needed
Puerto Rico operates in Spanish and English, and medical reports, evaluations and agency determinations are frequently in Spanish.
A mainland reader who does not read Spanish needs a translation, and that is the real case for ordering rather than any foreignness. Agencies will frequently issue an English version.
Two surnames, and the identifiers
Puerto Ricans carry paternal then maternal surnames and mainland systems index the last word — the mother's name. We keep both and make the order explicit.
Documents carry a Social Security number or an ITIN exactly as on the mainland. See our Puerto Rican 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.
