Hello Everyone,

My husband is in need of obtaining his HS Diploma from the Dominican Republic to go to school here. The school does not accept transcripts which he has, but wants the original HS Diploma. Does anyone know how we go about this and how long it takes......

You need to find someone either in his own town or Santo Domingo. they have to go to the Secretar?a de Estado de Educaci?n and find his paperwork. Full name, dates etc.

Depending on whether or not he has fulfilled ALL of the requirements he can get the proper documentation from the ministry...

A student has to take what are known as the Pruebas Nacionales and pass them. If not, the student is not considered to have passed High School. A major pain in the arse, since the government bureaucracy is loath to lose papers and students have gone through four months of college only to find out that they are not really HS graduates. They lose the time, the money and have to present the Pruebas all over again.

Also Birth Certificates are sometimes needed to get the HS certificate..

My husband did take the Pruebas Nactionales and we just go his Birth Certificate Legalized. Any idea of how long the process will take to actually receive the diploma?
