What do I need to travel from Canada to the Dominican Republic?
If you get a direct flight from Canada to the Dominican Republic you can us a birth certificate along with a drivers license or government issued photo ID. If you have a birth certificate but not a drivers license it might be worthwhile to just head to the passport office. But a passport also requires several pieces of ID too, starting with a birth certificate. I wouldn’t book until your start getting sufficient ID. You should contact the embassy via phone or email (2nd link) about your record. I don’t think it will matter, but worth checking first. They have a $10 tourist card. Which when countries do that it is more of a tourist tax than actual visa screening, and difficult for them to access criminal records, unlike how Canada & US share records. If they can’t check they might not bother having such a policy. Neither Canada nor the Dominician Republic websites say anything, so that is another good sign.
