List of Local Facilities and Resources

The U.S. Embassy in Managua, Nicaragua assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the medical professionals, medical facilities or air ambulance services whose names appear on the following lists. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. Professional credentials and areas of expertise are provided directly by the medical professional, medical facility or air ambulance service.

The list is not meant to be exhaustive or definitive nor does it represent either a guarantee of competence or endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy. Retention on this list depends upon a combination of factors including availability, training, and positive assistance in previous consultations, etc. Patient input, both positive and negative, regarding experience with local health care providers, is always welcomed as it provides additional information to assist the U.S. Embassy in making decisions about expanding or contracting the list.

DNA Testing

You should know that DNA testing can be expensive. All expenses associated with DNA testing are the responsibility of the individuals tested. For this reason DNA testing is suggested only when no other options appear to be available. While we cannot require you to undergo this testing, we may not be able to continue processing your case without it.

In citizenship cases, most laws require a blood relationship regardless of marital status to confer U.S. citizenship. Therefore, though the offspring of a valid marriage are generally presumed to be the issue of the married parties, in cases where there are doubts, testing may be required. The law puts the burden of proof upon the applicant to establish a claim to U.S. citizenship.

The Department of State requires that DNA testing for visa and citizenship purposes be done by a laboratory accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks. The Department has also determined that the DNA testing performed must utilize specific scientific methods.

Genetic testing involves coordination between an accredited laboratory in the United States and a Post Panel Physician. Please click here for a general description of the step-by-step process for DNA testing (DOC 55 KB).

In making the choice to pursue this testing, please remember that we cannot guarantee that the tests will produce a favorable result that would allow us to issue a citizenship document.

For more information on DNA parentage testing, click here.

Any questions regarding genetic testing should be directed to the Chief of the American Citizen Services Section at ACS.Managua@state.gov or (505) 2-252-7100.
