Here is what happened to me:
My grandson is a US citizen and travels on a US passport.
He was born in Santiago, Dominican Republic
He is considered a Dominican by Migraci?n an is required to have the following document in order to leave:
The parents
If living outside the DR, they should go to the Dominican consulate and have a Power Drawn up authorizing the minor's trip.
2 copies of parents IDs...passports/c?dulas etc
If living in the DR, they should have a notary draw up to authorize the trip by the minor, legalized by the Procuradur?a General de la Rep?blica, and two copies of c?dula or passports of authorizing parents and two copies of notarized letter.
If the mother or father is alone, they have to provide proof of custody by a sentence from the judge at the Boys, Girls and Adolescents Tribunal.
If the minor is traveling with a third party, both parents have to authorize the trip.
If there is a single parent (divorced, widow or widower) proof must be provided showing custody of child or death of partner. Plus two copies.
If the child is going to travel with one parent, the other parent must approve by notarized letter plus the Authorization by Migraci?n. Two copies of identity documents.
Requisites for minor:
2 copies of the front page of passport,plus the original
2 copies of Birth Certificate Legalized plus two photocopies
2 copies of the Visa or Residence

2 stamps of RD$30 each

Yes, Grasshopper, my US citizen grandson who travels on a US passport, but was born in Santiago, would be required to jump these hoops.
Note: they will accept faxes of the documents if the parents are overseas...
