DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS
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, on the day of departure. This
authorization must state that the parent 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, 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.
