I am applying to a medical school in the DR and one of the required documents is an apostilled original birth certificate. I have one from a country in Western Africa as I was born there before Immigrating to the USA (however the country is a non-member of the Hague convention), but I am a US citizen through naturalization. So now, I don't know what is the process to get my BC apostilled. Is it a way around this, like can I use my certificate of citizenship as a substitute for my BC. Can I get it done from the US. Do you know anybody who has been in a situation similar to mine? Please any infos would be appreciated.
