After all these years, since we're going to be retiring to DR at least half-time, I've decided to get my cedula. I understand that because I'm married to a Dominican man it's rather straightforward.
Today I called the Dominican Embassy in NY [talk about a total fiasco] to find out exactly what papers I should bring to SD. No one spoke English. [Okay, it's the Dominican Embassy, the Italian Embassy wasn't much better when I called them] So I explained that when I go to SD I'm going to apply for a cedula/residency, and all I wanted to know is EXACTLY what I need to bring with me from the US. "Oh, just go there together when you get there."
So, if there is a woman on DR1 who is married to a Dominican man and has recently gone through this process... what documents do I need to bring, and do they need apostiles? Did you use a lawyer, or is it straightforward enough that you did it yourself?
Sr. Guzman, is there a ley that you can quote here to help me?
