Hello,
I'd like to apply for the fast track residency. Never spent more than 3 weeks in the DR, living currently in the US. Do I need the certificate of good conduct from the US, or from the Dominican police or both? Thanks.

Just USA I think. I got one from UK before applying for residency but they never asked for it.
Maybe things get tougher.

The U.S. doesn't give , " certificates of good conduct ", they will give you a copy of your police file when requested, but a certificate of good conduct doesn't exist in the U.S.

You can go to any Policia National station, pay about 500 pesos and get a good conduct statement. You can even get one that
says you are a Priest for a few pesos more.

I'm not surprised because two of the answers were incomplete. For a DR residency card, one of the documents you need to present is a valid certificate of good conduct from the DR police. They are fairly easy to obtain but they are only valid for 30 days so you have to do it before submitting the application and supporting documentation. This is in addition to the one you need to produce from your home country, which needs to be translated into Spanish and notarised.

For a residence visa prior to entering the country you only need a good conduct certificate from your country of residence, along with several other documents, but the usual advice is to enter the DR on a tourist visa and start the residency card process with a lawyer once in the country.

ok chirimoya, but if the us does not give such a thing what then? From what I got from the OP he wants to know what to bring with him from the us to get this whole residency thing rolling in the DR before he comes saving him time and money. The DR part was great but what about the us part any help......

Is that a fact that the US does not issue good conduct certificates? The DR Migration authorities definitely state it is a requirement for both the residency card and the residency visa.

They will accept a signed letter from your local police agency that as of this date the person named has no prior convictions and is clear of any warrants on NCIC. Then you need an offficial translation of the letter.

Thanks again, Belmont is absolutely correct, that is the letter we already obtained from the police in the USA.
I was shocked to hear that one is needed from the Dominican police, even if we never lived there.
What is the difference between the residency card and the residency visa???????????????

If you read post no. 7 again it explains the difference. The residency visa is the one you apply for in advance of travelling to the country, and you don't need a Good Conduct certificate from the DR police for this one.

The residency card is what you need to apply for once you're already living in the DR. Most foreigners seeking residency arrive on a tourist visa and then apply for a residency card and c?dula (ID). I would guess that once a residency visa expires and you want to stay on in the DR you would have to go down that route anyway.

But even so, in theory there would be a point in getting a Good Conduct certificate from the DR police - the documents are supposedly issued after a search of Interpol records - not just your record in the DR.

It is regular simple police report, that is what I sent with my paperwork to the Dominican embassy when I moved.
Although after the fact, that whole process was a waste of time. It's best to wait till your in DR

Good Conduct Letter

You can obtain a Good Conduct Letter from your local Police Department in your town or city in the US. For example, I live in New York City and I would have to go to NYPD Police Headquarters at 1 Police Plaza, NYC to obtain one for a fee of $30 and you get it in the mail in 10 days or so. Then I would have to go the Dominican Consulate and have it translated and notarized, about $110.

Hope this helps.

I'm not trying to start any arguments, but this is NOT TRUE. Once you receive the Good Conduct Certificate from NYPD, you simply get it an APOSTILLE AT

New York City
New York State, Department of State
Division of Licensing Services
123 William Street, 19th Floor
New York, NY 10038
Hours 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Telephone (212) 417-5747

The APOSTILLE costs 10.00 USD... which is very cheap. Based on the Hague Convention standards, the document is considered AUTHENTICATED at that point. Nothing further is required to authenticate it.

After that, you just get it (the certificate/ letter) translated to Spanish when you get to DR. It cannot be translated in the USA.

One could pay $110 at the Dominican consulate, but it makes no sense when you can simply pay $10 on William Street and translated in DR for probably US 5 $
