The Dominican Consulate in New York has announced the launch of a new online platform to facilitate the process for obtaining Dominican citizenship for those born in the United States.
Consul General Carlos Castillo launched the site YoSoyDominicano.org during a ceremony to pay homage to the Fathers of the Homeland, Juan Pablo Duarte, Matías Ramón Mella and Francisco del Rosario Sánchez on occasion of Independence Day on 27 February 2019.
Castillo said that all the children born in the United States of at least one Dominican parent have the right to be Dominican citizens and they do not need to go to the country to complete the process.
