No, I am not yet old enough to live in Florida. That will happen when I don't know where I am.
I did not have quite enough to retire in California.

So I will just ignore renewing my DR passport. One more stupid thing here, which is DR passport renewals for naturalized citizens.
At least people don't have to renew their birth certificates any more.
Maybe someday they will get their act together regarding such passports, but it is no big deal at the end of the day for me.

Do you have a U.S. Passport? Do you have to renew it, too?

Yes and Yes. It can no longer be renewed at the US consul in Puerto Plata. DOMEX must be used.

I recently renewed mine using DOMEX. I paid the fees online. I went to Sosua and sent it to the US embassy in Santo Domingo.
Six weeks later they sent it back to me and I picked it up in Sosua. Very easy. The DR could do the same.

Note: When I went to use that passport the first time, the scanner at POP airport did not pick it up properly. So a Migracion Agent had to "register" it manually.
No issues since then. No issues when coming back to the DR on my DR passport.
