Rumors and information about the alleged closure of the MINREX office have been circulating in recent days on social networks and on some media and digital platforms outside the island.
This information ensures that, although it has not been officially announced, the services are suspended. In addition, they highlight the coincidence of the supposed closure with the increase in requests for legalization of documents by many Cubans as a result of the new humanitarian parole launched by the United States and the new version of the so-called “grandchildren’s law” of Spain.
As he remembers the Cuban News Agencyciting MINREX, “the document legalization service is the recognition of the signature of the official authorized to exercise said legal action, who certifies that the document in question has been issued and has followed the procedure in accordance with the provisions of the law” .
