Cuenca's San Blas Registry Office Will Open Saturdays

If you have been putting off a Registro Civil errand because weekdays are a mess, Cuenca's San Blas agency is joining the new Saturday schedule.

Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, Registro Civil will provide permanent Monday-to-Saturday service at 14 agencies in 11 provinces, with Saturday hours from 08:00 to 17:00. For Cuenca, the listed Saturday agency is Cuenca (San Blas).

What You Can Do On Saturday

The Saturday list includes the usual Registro Civil basics:

• Cedulas
• Passports
• Marriages
• Certificates
• Birth registrations
• Death registrations
• Other regular institution procedures

Cedulas and passports are listed as services handled without prior appointment, with direct payment at the agency.

Why Expats Should Care

For foreign residents, the practical piece is the cedula. A Saturday window gives you another option if work, family logistics, or travel make weekday appointments hard.

The Monday-to-Friday schedule remains available at all agencies nationwide. The change is that Saturdays will now be active at the selected 14 points, including San Blas in Cuenca.
