As of April of 2005, Dominican Republic law requires that children under 18, traveling with an adult or guardian other than their parent, must present written authorization from the parent(s), on the day of departure. This authorization must state that the parent(s) have given consent for the child to leave the country. The letter must be written in Spanish and notarized at a Dominican Consulate in the United States. If the child is traveling with only one parent, the letter is not necessary. In addition, Dominican immigration authorities have recently begun restricting the ability of children to depart the country with only a birth certificate, especially when those children are American citizens of Dominican heritage. Because of this policy, the Embassy strongly urges that children who normally reside in the United States obtain a passport in the U.S. prior traveling to the Dominican Republic. If the child's last name differs from the last name of the accompanying parent(s), proof of parentage is required. Parent's name change must be documented (i.e. marriage certificate). If the minor is 14-17 on the day of departure, they must hold either a valid passport or a valid, official photo ID along with their birth certificate. Anyone under 18 on the day of departure will be denied boarding if not accompanied by an adult 18 years or older.
United
States citizens traveling to any foreign destination must have proof of
citizenship. If you are traveling to Mexico, Europe, Costa Rica, Latin or
South America, Caribbean, South Pacific you must have a valid U.S.
Passport. An original copy of a state issued (not a hospital issued) birth
certificate with a raised seal and a government issued photo ID such as a
driver's license or school I.D. WILL NOT be acceptable anymore. A driver's
license, social security card, or school I.D. are never considered proof of
citizenship. If you are a citizen of another country there may be
additional requirements. Check with the nearest consulate of the
destination you are traveling to and find out entry requirements for
non-United States citizens. Do not pack proof of citizenship in your
suitcase. |
