Cambios & Playeros do not require a Passport ID to exchange currency... only the banks & WU do..

I haven't spent much time in San Dom, but in Sosua and other places the money changers walk the streets hollering Chains! Chains!

Any casa de cambios in the Zona Colonial? For us tourists that dont like to venture too far.

Doesn't necessarily need to be a cambio... any supermercado will change money, as will your hotel.

Just study up the rate beforehand and wrestle a good exchange from them.

Caribe Express is a good place - clean , safe usually.

My boat is docked.

I am not the first to jack a thread. I think the thread has legs, and has gone on to the issue of why one even needs a passport. Check the Magna Carta and Sir Oswald Mosley. Correct me if I am wrong. Sometimes threads evolve.

But I do not understand ---- why/sorry ---- it takes 2 months to replace a passport. I lost mine in the US last fall. I was by my sister on Cape Cod. I called the consul in Boston to check the hours. I drove to Boston. Got new fot. Filled out papers. They said I had to come back to pick it up. Unfortch, the day in question was Yom Kippur. I don't drive, don't drink. don't wear leather shoes, don't eat for 26 hours. So: no.

However, US Dept. of State express mailed new passport to me, the day before my flight.

So: how does it take 2 months to get your passport? The OP seemed like an English speaker. Canada makes you wait 2 mos.? GB-rexit?

Countries usually want you to have passports right away. As a visitor in whatever country, I sort of want proof that I am a citizen of whatever country I am from. I REALLY want to be holding a valid passport.
