About MiPRFácil

What MiPRFácil is

MiPRFácil is a free informational site that explains Puerto Rico’s government procedures, documents, permits, benefits and public services in plain language.

MiPRFácil is an independent informational website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Puerto Rico or any government agency.

We do not submit applications on your behalf, we never charge for a government procedure, and we are not an intermediary for any agency. What we do is explain the process and send you to the official site that handles it.

How we handle official information

Government requirements change, sometimes without notice. That is why every guide shows the date it was last reviewed and links to the official source it is based on.

When a detail — a cost, a processing time, a requirement — has not been confirmed with the agency, we say so plainly instead of publishing a figure that merely sounds plausible. We would rather you know something is unverified than act on an invented number.

Guides marked as drafts explain the process in general terms, but their details have not yet been confirmed one by one against the official source. Always confirm with the agency before paying, submitting documents, or travelling to an office.

How it is funded

MiPRFácil is free for readers. It is supported by advertising: some pages may show ad blocks labelled “Publicidad”. Direct sponsorships from local businesses will come later.

These are the rules that govern it. Ads will always be labelled as such and will never be placed next to the buttons that take you to an official site, so an ad can never be mistaken for a government link. Sponsored content will always be labelled "Sponsored" and will never imply government endorsement. And some guides will never carry ads at all: those on violence, abuse and trafficking, because nobody opens them to shop.

No advertiser decides which guides we write or what they say.

Who makes MiPRFácil, and how

MiPRFácil is made and maintained by one person in Puerto Rico, who prefers not to sign by name. It is not an agency, not a law firm, and does not work for the government. The contact for corrections and questions is on the contact page, and that same person answers.

Every guide is prepared in two steps. First it is drafted, with the help of artificial intelligence tools, from the law, the regulation or the official page of the agency that handles the procedure. Then it is reviewed by hand against that same source: every requirement, fee, form and deadline the guide states has to be written in the source it links to, and whatever the source does not say is marked as pending verification instead of being filled in. The date you see on each guide is the date of that review, not of its publication.

New guides come from what people search for on the site and do not find, a few per week, and existing ones are reviewed again when the agency changes something or a reader reports it. If you find a mistake, write to us: it gets corrected and the guide shows the new date.

Languages

MiPRFácil is available in Spanish and English. Spanish is the primary language. Translations are curated rather than automatic: official agency terms stay in the language the agencies themselves use, because translating "marbete" or "Permiso Único" would only confuse someone about to look them up.
