An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Dominican Republic that means Dominican Republic’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Dominican Republic, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Dominican Republic issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Dominican Republic concern marriage, property and residence. Germany objected to the Dominican Republic’s accession; between the two states documents are legalised instead.
