Documents

This is a real vault. Built from your line, not a template.

Every Dominican Republic case gets a document list built from that family's actual line. A marriage certificate appears only where a name actually changes; a death certificate only where the programme asks for one.

If your case doesn’t need it, you never see it.

Ordered once, shared across the family

Your anchor ancestor’s records serve every relative applying on the same line. Family members see status. They never see the document.

Cost

What it actually costs, including the parts that aren't ours.

Our fee is $100 a person. Everything else goes to a government or a records office, at cost, never marked up.

Heritage Passport

$100 per person, one time. Whole dollars, no subscription.

Every fee shown is a published government figure for exactly what it names, not an estimate. Record costs vary by office and are charged at cost.

Life in Dominican Republic

Some people want the passport. Some want the country.

If you're thinking about actually going, our sister platform covers what it costs to live in Dominican Republic, how residency works, and what the tax picture looks like.

Citizenship first, or country first

A Dominican Republic passport doesn’t require you to move. But if moving is the point, it’s worth knowing the numbers before you start a long paperwork process.

Same family, different destinations

Families frequently qualify for more than one country. The free check shows every path, so you can choose on the merits rather than on the one you happened to think of.
