French Guiana birth certificate
My great-grandfather was born in 1914 in Cayenne. I do not live in mainland France or French Guyana and would like to get a certified copy of his birth certificate (Acte de Naissance). I have all of his information (date of birth, first and last names, names of parents, etc.).
I was told the only way is to go to the Cayenne city hall or mail them a request, but Cayenne is very difficult to reach and mailing is not guaranteed. From what I understand, it seems like anyone can obtain 100+ year bith certificates, so I was wondering whether I can find someone to get a "copie intégrale" of "acte de naissance."

Cayenne is the capital of French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America. Its 17th-century old town district blends influences from France, the Caribbean and Brazil. Tropical-colored Creole-style houses sit beside hilltop ruins of the French colonial Fort Cépérou, which overlooks the Cayenne River. Shops and cafes can be found on the main commercial thoroughfare, Avenue du Général de Gaulle.

I think that you will want to write to the city hall. I do not see online any groups that offer to go and get the copy you need.
