Dominican Cedula and Driver License

You don't need to post your inquiry in all the forums. Everybody reads all the forums anyways.

These are some threads where we already discussed that. Check if your answer is there, I believe it is. If you don't find the answer then come back to this thread and ask again.

Especially see the post by Fabio Guzman in this thread http://www.dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21168&highlight=cedula

Fabio is the attorney who answers questions in this section.

It is my understanding that to get what you are after you need to be either a citizen or legal resident. You mentioned that both your parents were Dominicans. Do you have dual citizenship?

FYI:

You, as the son of two Dominican citizens, have a right to Dominican citizenship. You need to get proof of your parent's citizenship-thier passports or a certificate of their citizenship from the Consulate;
If you were born in the US, get a copy of your birth certificate.

Take all this to the Cedula office.

As for the DR driver's License, if you REALLY need one, you take your US license, show it to the people in Obras Publicas and you should get a DR license with just the "Te?rico" ..BUT why?????

You can drive here with your US license....

Question... Can you go to the Dominican Consulate in the US and have them verify that the NY drivers license is good? Does this all have to be done in the DR?

Also is there a US Consulate in Puerto Plata? Santiago?

Thanks

Does anyone know if a Dominican Drivers license is good in the US or do you need an International Drivers license?
