My fianc? needs to get a set of fingerprints taken to provide to his consulate here in the DR. (Needs to get a certificate of good conduct from his home country). Is this something the PN can provide? If so, anyone know which police station in the East can do this?

Can I get fingerprints taken at Policia Nacional?
I can't speak for the rest of the world, but for Canadians, fingerprints submitted for criminal record checks are only accepted by the RCMP if they originated from an approved fingerprinting service. You can't submit any old set of finger prints and claim they are yours.
That's the reason we are hoping to use the PN. One can only presume they are considered an approved source for fingerprints.
The PN is definitely not accredited and won't be accepted. Prints need to originate from within Canada. There was a time that you could get fingerprints and fill out the forms at the Canadian Embassy. I do not know if that is still possible.
Other countries for their citizens may have different options available.

You have to go to the National Police in Santo Domingo for this. For Canada the prints have to be submitted electronically, after the prints are done at the National Police they have to be submitted to an accredited agency in Canada and then they submit to the RCMP along with the application for a criminal record check.
Guys... I think you all got a little confused. I didn't state anywhere that my fianc? is Canadian.
After speaking to the PN and Cestur here in Punta Cana/Bavaro we've learned that we need to go to Higuey to get this done.

My original point that may have been missed is that it's not so much if you can get fingerprints taken here in the DR. One certainly can get their fingers blackened here. It is more a matter of whether those fingerprints will be accepted by the police force you are asking to provide the record check. Start at that end of the process for this inquiry and if acceptable, then proceed to figure out where to go to get the prints taken.
