Cuba enables online applications for criminal record certificates

Cuba’s Ministry of Justice enabled a digital channel for requesting criminal record certificates. The process is handled through the Soberanía platform and allows the application to begin online. The information presents the option as an alternative for starting the document request without specifying which actions make up the rest of the process or the steps required to complete it.

According to the description, access is possible from any device as long as an internet connection is available. The reference encompasses different types of equipment without naming a preferred category. Connectivity is the expressly stated requirement for accessing the alternative.

The date given for the announcement is October 15. The excerpt places the initiative within the digitalization of legal services on the island, so the presentation does more than identify an access channel: it also connects the measure with the use of digital tools in justice-related services. The passage does not state the specific year of the announcement.

The concrete change described is the ability to begin a criminal record certificate request online. The available wording refers to starting the process, not completing it: it does not establish that the document is issued immediately or that the entire procedure takes place online. It also gives no launch date more precise than the October 15 announcement.

The published material identifies the responsible agency, the requested document, the digital channel and the internet-access requirement. It does not specify response times, fees, required attachments, who is eligible to request the certificate or delivery methods. The information confirms the opening of this alternative without clarifying those operational details or whether complementary in-person options exist.
