My wife is Dominican, and I am an American citizen. My daughter is now 1 year old, and was born in the DR and has not yet traveled to the USA. We went through the CRBA process, and got her CRBA and American passport.
My wife now has a residency visa and we are going to be leaving the DR together with my daughter to go to the US. I have heard a few people here claim that my daughter not only needs an American passport, but also a Dominican passport to be able to leave the country. But I can’t imagine why the American passport wouldn’t be enough.
We have her Dominican birth certificate, CRBA, and American passport. Is that enough to get back to the US? Or do we need to get her Dominican passport? Just wanted to see if anyone knew about this. Thanks!
No idea what the requirements are with the Dominican Republic.
One thing to check though - does your child need a stamp on the passport in order to leave? Some countries require that. You can’t leave unless your passport shows proof of legal entry.
Usually it’s pretty quick and easy with a newborn, but something to check.
But otherwise, you should be able to leave with just a US passport.
