children citizenship

IF you are a dominican citizen it's not that hard. You get the birth certificates from your children, have it legalized at the Dominican Consulate in the country they were born (probably first the foreign affairs ministry and then the consulate). Those legalized papers you legalize at the foreign affairs ministry in Santo Domingo (if not in spanish you have to have them translated by an official translator) and legalize them at the JCE.

These papers accompanied by a letter requesting transcription of a birthcertificate of children of dominicans born abroad you bring to the legal department of JCE (Av. Luperon), they will take 10 days to decide and then you can bring the birth certificates to an oficialia de circunscripci?n and get them inscribed.

Im in this process now, costs until now very less. 300 pesos each legalization at JCE and 600 pesos each legalization at foreign affairs in Santo Domingo. Rest of the process is free I think. Going to the legal department of the JCE today to deposit the papers.

Correction: you don't need to legalize the birth certificate at the JCE, just: foreign affairs in the country of birth, consulate in the country of birth and foreign affairs in DR. If you need an example letter to request transcription I can send you one.

Just went to 'consultoria juridica' of the JCE and deposited the papers. Had to pay 500 pesos, it seems it's per application of children of the same parent, not per child. You need to bring:
1 set of copies of the documents you deposit. (legalized certificate, letter, copy cedula) and a Manila file folder (they insist on that).

In my case I have to come back 2nd of February to get the result, so it's not 10 days.

Hi...further to this question, can only one parent request citizenship and passport without the other parent's permission? Or do both parents have to sign the application for a Dominican passport?

Authorization from any Dominican parent should be sufficient.
