I am also a dual citizen and they do want to see a Cedula. I guess it has something to do with the clocking of people for Overstay fees. He is exempt from that. Just a guess..........

Marbete-time is almost here!
Don't worry about the number on the Matricula...... When I bought my first car I showed my passport, but they put another number on the matricula ... When I got my cedula I went to ask them to change that number to match my cedula and the guy at Impuesto Internos (motor vehicles) said its too much of a hastle and doesn't really matter what number is on it as it won't change ownership.... So I have 3 matriculas with the same number that doesn't match my cedula or passport and never had a problem renewing or selling a vehicls....
I'm in the exact same situation, have been for years. The traspaso was originally done by someone we know and we had no part in it aside from payment. I just checked in the system online at DGII, with the number of a cedula that is not mine and our placa, my name pops up perfectly fine. Not even spelled incorrectly or missing parts. When the traspaso was done, they had my passport (back then it was done with passport), but the new matricula came with a number of cedula (not mine) and I asked why, the answer was exactly why you state above, "no clue" and does not matter.
If I recall right, the issue was not them entering the DR, but rather that the DR did not want them to leave or something...
And I stand corrected, it does not refer to military, but rather to "national security" with no further details given. Sorry about that:
Migración está solicitando las cédulas a todos los dominicanos que salgan del país
La Dirección General de Migración (DGM) indicó que la aplicación de la medida es reciente

Migracion does not trust its own passports!!! Laughable, but no surprise since it is what I already guessed was the reason for having to show a cedula. A dual factor authorization because of fake passports.
This article says the cedula is required to depart the DR. Some seem to be saying they also need to show a cedula to enter the DR all the way to baggage claim, and that makes little sense, but hey this is the DR.
Corruption in the Migracion department. Oh, well...

If the cedula number does not matter on the title, why do they ask for a paper copy of a cedula that can be anyone's cedula?
Only in the DR...
Maybe I am not understanding.
My wife has dual citizenship, she travels on a foreign passport ( non-dominican ) and when she enters the DR she presents her foreign passport but also has to show her DR cedula. If that makes sense.
WRONG. Once you are a DR citizen you are the same as native born. And Cedulas for us expire every 10 years the same as any other Dominican.............And I have been one for 21 years , so I know what I am posting..............
Makes sense except many are expired now because of the new ones coming. Supposed to all be valid regardless
All Cedulas that expired in 2024 are in fact perfectly valid until the new ones are out...............Mine was issued in 2014 and expired in 2024..............
I am a dual citizen . When I enter the DR I use my DR passport. Before I had one I used my US passport and maybe my legal residency card.
Have not yet had to show a cedula for travel purposes. But this seems new since I last traveled in September of 2024.
This is your post below relating to Cedulas. No maybe, just a wrong fact. I brought it to the attention of the board. No need for your frosty reply............Next time try and check your facts first..........

Cedulas for citizens expire every 6 years.
Give me ONE example of a wrong fact I posted about the DR. Go ahead..................
I missed the part where the person in question was using a Dominican passport.
Still, I am sure lots of people, like my wife, don't bother with a Dominican passport ( her last Dominican passport is hand written, lol ), and use a US or European passport for visa/hassle free travels, and then just show their DR cedula when they arrive in the DR, along with their foreign passport.

Under the table is not a FACT. It is not even legal. So that is the best you can do...........
