Ok read through the posts no help. My husband is Dominican and is in Dr. I came to the US to give birth and now have a newborn son, and need to get a passport for him. How can I get one if in the US you need both parents present to obtain a passport for a child under 14, and my husband is currently in DR and am in the states.

passport for newborn
You have a problem.
I would suggest traveling back to the DR and going through the American embassy once you are there. You're right. You both need to be present.
You will need a letter from your husband giving you permission to take your child out of the US as well. Make sure you have a birth certificate before doing so.

This is a US government issue, not Dominican Republic related.

Probably you will find answers to the US requirements for getting a passport for a baby there.
notarized letter
You might just need a notarized letter from your husband stating he gives you permission to obtain a passport. If he can do this or something else through the US Embassy its better.
Best to so is ask at the Post Office. Make sure you tell her your citizenship and the fathers citizenship. Is he a legal US resident? Let her know.
Good Luck!

Here is what you do
Forget anything Dominican, as Dolores has said, this is a US government issue, not DR.
So, you hubby goes to a lawyer, has a letter written up saying that he cannot be present but that he approves of you having a passport issued for his son.
If you'll wait an hour or so, I'll post a copy of what he gave to his wife in the US so their son could be issued his own passport.
This is not a big deal
Back later with the answer.
