One time shipment to Punta Cana

If they will be sending it back to you later you may want to prepare for that too. I assume so.

I had my son's us passport here and I could not send it by ups, FedEx, ... It was prohibited and if it was found in a shipment it would have been destroyed. Why I don't know.

EPS in Bavaro is very dependable. Don't know about a one time deal, but here is the phone number to check.

Hi,
I am considering sending my passport by courier to my family in Bavaro from Canada. I would be more comfortable sending it to a place like Mailboxes Etc, but see that they have closed down. Do you know of anywhere that I could send it in the area for a one time fee (i.e. I do not want a permanent mailbox). I looked for a DHL or UPS office in Bavaro/Punta Cana area online but could not find one.

Thank you,
Wilson

wilson, if you send your passport, how will ever get to Bavaro? I would never be seperated from my passport.

no he explains in another thread that he is in Canada awaiting visa and .......

DHL will ship passports DHL | Express Import Guidelines | English

but do YOU not have to show up at the Embassy WITH your passport?

I would be as well.

I send my passport to Canada all the time through DHL Bavaro to get work visas in other countries. Never had an issue.

never heard of that before. and im not happy about putting it on a officials desk....

send it to a lawyer in RD... many have Miami addresses for mail, UPS deliveries, etc

No, they actually say I can mail it to them and send a return envelope. I just feel very nervous.

I would ship it to the embassy and get a return prepaid shipment as well and include it in the original envelope. You CAN ship passports to/from embassies, but you ay encounter problems shipping them to anywhere else. When my daughter did not yet have European passport (passports issued only in-country or at the embassy but closest embassy in Cuba and Mexico), I sent her Dominican passport to be stamped with Schengen visa to Mexico by UPS, no problems, included return prepaid envelope, after they got the passport it was on its way back the next day, they just called UPS for pickup over there in Mexico City. No problem either direction, but that was TO/FROM EMBASSY.

I would not risk sending passport to a person, it may be found (envelope opened) and then you/your passport may be in trouble. If the embassy gives you option to send it to them directly, pony up the $$ it costs to express ship to/from DR/Haiti wherever and send it straight to the embassy with a prepaid return envelope. You can buy return prepaid airwaybill at UPS, Fedex, DHL webpages, then just affix it on an empty envelope, and put that second envelope inside the first envelope.

Easy ...

In past, I have sent legal documents care of myself to the Canadian Counsulate in Punta Cana and picked them up. But first, I would confirm with the senoir consulate officer that she would accept the item
