Hi,
I'll call the consulate tomorrow, but after my last experience a few months ago (before the rules changed) was such a frustrating experience (the answer was different depending who I talked to), I am hoping some DR1 might know from experience.
I am travelling with my 13 year old niece. The rules have change now you need the notorization and authorization for consulate if they are under 18 yrs. old. without parent.
When I called the consulate a few months ago they told me if I need a notarization, the parent of the child would have to come in person to the consulate. I was later told since she was 13, we didn't need one. But now the rules have changed- Does anyone know does this have to be in person? I saw on the UK and Canadian DR consulate web sites, you can mail it in and have it "legalized" at the consulate for $75, it does not have to ne notasrized there. They did not tell me this option when I called the consulate in New York, they said she had to go in person, but then I got a slighty different story depending on who I talked to. We are over 1,000 miles away from a consulate.
Has anyone had to do this before?
Thanks in advance!
