Dominican Republic Minor Exit Permit: Digital Parental Authorization Guide

This is a summary of the current published rule for this country. It is not a form every child needs.

This is primarily an EXIT / GOVERNMENT PROCESS page for leaving the Dominican Republic in qualifying cases. It is not an ENTRY letter for arriving as a tourist, not a cruise boarding form, and not a generic U.S. parental travel-consent letter.

The current digital workflow is built around qualifying cases in which Dominican identity information for parents is used. The broader Dominican minor-exit certification system has its own applicability rules.

This digital workflow does not apply to every minor trip to or from the Dominican Republic.

An ordinary U.S. tourist child is not in this exit-permit process unless Dominican citizenship, residency, or another qualifying status applies.

A U.S. family on a vacation itinerary may still face airline, next-country, parental-consent, or custody questions that are not this DGM permit.

When the official digital permit applies, the traveling parent initiates and the other parent authorizes, using their accounts and required identity data.

That workflow is not an automatic rule for every one-parent U.S. tourist itinerary.

A grandparent or other non-parent adult is not automatically in this digital workflow. Confirm whether the child's Dominican citizenship, residency, or other qualifying status places the trip inside the DGM process.

A child-alone itinerary is not automatically a Dominican digital-permit case for an ordinary foreign tourist child. Confirm the child's status and the current DGM certification rules before treating this portal as the required process.

Continue to the official Dominican Republic Minor Exit Permit platform. The government workflow already includes the relevant electronic notarization and legalization. A standard online notarization is not a substitute for that platform.

When the digital permit applies, the traveling parent initiates and the other parent authorizes inside the government accounts. Both use the required identity data.

Notarization and legalization occur within the government workflow. A standalone U.S. remote online notarization session is not the process.

Ordinary remote online notarization is unsuitable as a substitute when the official permit applies. Authentication is a government digital process.

Current official fee: RD$6,300. The fee includes Minor Exit Permit certification, electronic notarial power, legalization of notarial acts, and filial certification.

The process can take up to 24 service hours. Current platform service hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Weekends and holidays are outside that estimate.

Permit validity: 90 days after issue.

The public beta ended August 7, 2026, and the process became a regular paid service. The public platform may still show BETA text. That label does not mean the service is free or still a beta.

If the missing item is the official Dominican digital Minor Exit Permit, continue to the government process. A standard online notarization session does not replace it. If you are already at the airport with a different missing document, use the Airport Emergency Child Travel Consent Guide.
