My personal experience and comments in requesting these certificates.

1. The service is fast, faster than I have imagined. We got our birth certificates and CENOMAR's in 2 days.
2.  Provide a valid cellphone number, the delivery person will call or text you when he will be coming.
3. If you are not available on the delivery day, leave an authorization letter and a photocopy of your valid I.D. The recipient should also have a valid I.D.
