These are US medical records
Puerto Rico is a US jurisdiction. Medical records created there are US medical records, governed by HIPAA, requested the same way as records from any state, and there is no apostille and no consular legalisation involved.
An office treating a Puerto Rican record as a foreign document has misunderstood where Puerto Rico is. Saying that plainly saves a step and sometimes a fee, and we would rather say it than charge for treating it as foreign.
When a translation is genuinely needed
Puerto Rico operates in Spanish and English, and a great many clinical records, immunisation cards and physician letters are written in Spanish.
A mainland reader who does not read Spanish needs a translation, and some offices require a certified translation of any Spanish-language document regardless of origin. That is the real case for ordering, and we will tell you if it is not yours.
The immunisation registry and the school form
Puerto Rico maintains an immunisation registry from which a complete history can be printed, and schools require a certified immunisation form. Those are the documents an I-693 or a school enrolment needs.
A parent hunting for a paper card frequently does not know the registry printout is available, and it is more complete than the card.
Two surnames, and the license number
Puerto Ricans carry paternal then maternal surnames in the Spanish pattern, and mainland systems index the last word — the mother's name. We keep both and make the order explicit.
Physicians hold a Puerto Rico medical license and frequently a mainland one as well, and the license number is what a reader verifies. See our Puerto Rican birth certificate page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is a Puerto Rican medical record a foreign document?
No. It is a US record under HIPAA. No apostille and no consular legalisation.
Do I need a translation?
Only if the record is in Spanish and the reader cannot read it. Ask first — we will tell you if you do not need us.
Where do I get a full immunisation history?
The Puerto Rico immunisation registry, which prints a complete record and is more reliable than a paper card.
Which surname is the family name?
Both. Paternal first, maternal second.
