I have been trying to get a degree legalized for almost 4 months. I have finally received the (numero de oficio) and proceeded to the Ministry to pay for it. At first I was given a price of $795.00 pesos which was what everyone was paying. However, when it was my turn I was told that it would be in American dollars since I am a foreigner.
I tried to figure out how this could be since $795 pesos will be less than $50.00 USD so I asked why and was given a slip of paper that said if your cedula says "no vota"then you pay in dollars. I left without paying since I didn't have that kind of money on me. I have since tried to get a copy of the "tarifa", all of it shows is the cost for Dominicans and Haitians, but when it got to foreigners it just says "la misma cantidad pero en dolares".
Has anyone else have this issue? How could something that cost $795. pesos be worth $795. dollars just because you are a foreigner? How does one interpret the same amount but in dollars?
I need this document but can not pay $795.00 USD for the legalization of a degree from a local university, that is $35,576.25 pesos! How is that the same as $795.00 pesos? Help!!!
