Dominican citizenship assistance
If
you, a loved one, or a child of yours was born
outside the Dominican Republic, but has at least
one Dominican parent, we can have that birth
record registered and transcribed here in the
Dominican Republic.
With the Dominican birth certificate in hand, your child, friend or relative can request their cédula (ID card) if they've already reached 18 years of age, and then obtain their Dominican passport.
Here’s what we can do for you:
** If the birth occurred in Canada, Haiti or the Netherlands instead of taking the birth certificate to be apostilled before sending it to us, you must have the original birth certificate and translation legalised by the Dominican embassy or consulate in your country.
We shall then obtain the required apostille for them locally in the Dominican Republic.
Our charge for this service which includes a new Dominican long-form birth certificate is US$395.
