Dominican consular procedures in the United States

These are the fifteen Dominican consular procedures most searched for from the United States, each with what to bring, what it costs and where it happens.

Start with the part that surprises people: five of them are not handled by any consulate.

The e-Ticket belongs to Migration, the cédula and civil registry records come from the Central Electoral Board, the apostille is issued by the Foreign Ministry in Santo Domingo, and police clearance by the Attorney General's Office.

The most searched of the lot, the e-Ticket, is one of those: filled in online, free, and no appointment to book.

The fifteen guides

Identity and nationality

The passport and citizenship are consular; the cédula is not.

Traveling to the Dominican Republic

What you need to enter and leave, starting with the form most travelers do not know is mandatory.

Civil registry

Births, marriages, deaths and sworn declarations: here the consul acts as a civil registrar.

Documents and legalization

What the consulate stamps, what the Foreign Ministry apostilles in Santo Domingo, and what neither of them touches.
