Don't pay anybody under the table to get you a residency. This is now being looked for at renewal time and people who went that route are being forced to start all over.

Use a lawyer and one that other people have used with no problems.
Fabio Guzman ( www.drlawyer.com) is a good choice, he did mine and has obtained residency for a bunch of other DR1 people.

DR residency
Hi, I'm new at posting on this board. I've been a member since last summer but mainly I read. This board is where I've found most of the information I was looking for before moving to the DR. Can anybody tell me what will the cost be to get the DR residency? (More or less). Thanks.

Pros and Cons of Residency
Would someone please outline the pros and cons of residency. i.e. taxes, business ownership etc. other than being able to a business I can't see the value.

If you will be spending a few months here every year, probably no need. But if you will be a full time resident it should be considered. There are full time, long time residents, including some on this board, who don't have residency, but if I am relocating to the DR and making it my home, I personally feel better to have residency.

One reason...
To get car insurance, you need a license.
To get a license, you need cedula.
To get a cedula, you need to be a resident.
As others have said, if you plan on living here or spending a considerably amount of time here, it makes sense to get your residency.

That's news to me and a number of my neighbors here in Costambar, none of whom have residency and yet have auto insurance. Are you certain of this, Robert?
