Santo Domingo.- The Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) set up a stand at the General Directorate of Passports (DGP) to correct the errors that birth certificates present when these are detected at the time citizens renew or obtain that travel document for the first time.
In this way, the TSE offers information and the delivery of printed materials to citizens who go to Passports, as part of the collaboration agreement signed between both institutions.

The citizen orientation day is aimed at users who go to the central headquarters of Passports, in the National District.
TSE collaborators offer information, educational printed materials, and direct assistance free of charge from a booth installed at the aforementioned headquarters, with the aim of guiding citizens on procedures related to the rectification of civil status records for the change, deletion, or addition of names.
The trainings seek to reinforce the technical and legal knowledge of public servants, ensuring the correct application of Law 4-23 on Civil Status Acts.
In these sessions, special emphasis is placed on articles 134 and 194 of the aforementioned law. The first addresses the procedures for name changes, while the second establishes that the TSE is the sole competent body to hear, with jurisdictional character, the rectifications of civil status records.
