Apostille for Dominican Republic
Working at a resort in Punta Cana, getting married on a Dominican beach, supplying Dominican buyers, or applying for residence in Santo Domingo? The Dominican Republic joined the Hague Apostille Convention with effect from 30 August 2009; some states objected to its accession, but India did not, so the MEA apostille applies.

apostille
For an apostille for Dominican Republic, the MEA apostilles a Passport Seva PCC directly, and other documents after verification – birth and marriage certificates by the home department or SDM, single-status affidavits by a notary and SDM, company papers by a chamber of commerce. Dominican civil-status officers, the migration directorate and notaries accept them with an official Spanish translation.
Dominican Republic embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille applies for India
A number of states objected when the Dominican Republic joined the Convention, so legalisation still applies between it and those states. India did not object; between India and the Dominican Republic, the MEA apostille is sufficient.
Resorts in Punta Cana and La Romana recruit hospitality staff internationally, and couples from India increasingly choose Dominican beach weddings – both need apostilled Indian documents.
