Residency/Citizenship & Canadian Police Report
Bob, father's last name comes first, then mother's.
How does it work for a married female?
I don't like the USA system. Lately a lot more married women are going the hyphenated route and keeping their maiden last name hyphenated with the husband's last name. me likes that..........
First comes the father's last name then the mother's last name and then DE (meaning of) and husband's last name.
Example: Maria Fernandez Lopez de Rivera. The DE lets you know she is married.

thanks bronzie, before I always wondered why Latinos had all these names. Once I understood the meaning it made a whole lot of sense to me.
I am William Baxter Webster ( Baxter is my mother's maiden name)
That's the English way of naming the first child....
father's Mother's maiden name goes to #2
They call me William Baxter.

You are correct, and I know that so I don't know why I wrote it the way I did. Thanks for correcting me.
And exactly when I was going to start the procedure. The game is afoot while the clowns have temporarily left the circus.
It hasn't stopped me Windy....
I'm still on deck.
The Embassy may something to say when I go in the couple of weeks.

My friend is doing the citizenship thing and he thinks the lawyer may be aksing for government fees that are more than government fees. Can someone provide me a summary of the fees and mounts involved (true fees only that DIYer would pay, excluding any lawyer's fees).
Not always. Mrs. De la Cruz is not married to Mr. La Cruz and Mr. De la Cruz is not gay.
One of my husband's great grandmothers had the De La Cruz surname. She married an Olivo and their kids were simply Olivo Cruz. As per website before it disappeared, RD$1,500 when you file papers then RD$5,000 when you swear in. They could have gone up though, but peanuts compared to residency. Obviously docs need to be apostilled or translated but that is usually done in home country.

Definitely home country... and yes, cheaper
Another reason for my applying...
if it can be cheaper and easier.... I'm in !!

1500 DOP when you apply ( and test), 5000 when they pass on your paperwork and give you a date for the swearing in. 1500 for transcription of your birth certificate in to the birth certificate format. Another 1000 for your Cedula. Obviously there are going to other expenses like the legalization of documents and the tax for the government...etc. I paid Matilda's friend 4000 to translate, take to the two government ministries and get everything stamped and taxes paid plus returning the documents to me to take to the Ministry.
I have flown out and back using my Dominican Cedula and my Canadian passport. No issues.
I also know a few people with the last name de la cruz.
The entire last name is "de la cruz." But it's different when just using DE. It is added on when the woman is married.

Exactly the way I travel and the way all non-citizen residents do...
The passport of your country and the residency or cedula card.
I'll still do that I expect.
What appeals to me about citizenship is no residency renewal...
and cedula renewal is done locally.
Much less government interface

Certifying what? Apostille, translation, canadian legalization??? Useful to know for people going through the process.
Apostille...
She suggested a translation in SD
She also agreed that a Cdn police report won't be necessary.... since I am a resident since 2008.
However, Buster Gringo suggested it and given the changing nature of Immigration....
I decided to double down on security....
$70CAD for the fingerprints and $100USD for the Consulate
THey stamped the back of my birth certif and the RCMP report....
