Dominican consulates in Iowa
For Dominicans in Iowa, the first question is a geographical one.
Which Dominican consulate covers me in Iowa?
The Dominican State does not publish which consulate Iowa belongs to. By proximity, the office that can see you is Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in Chicago. We are saying that, not the ministry.

What you can settle without going
- Download the forms for almost every procedure beforehand, so you are not filling them in at the counter.
- Apostille Dominican documents at the Foreign Ministry in Santo Domingo, the only competent authority.
- Ask for current fees by phone before travelling: several are not published anywhere.
Call before you get in the car. Opening hours change overnight and the drive is long.
