I am an American citizen living in the US , with childeren in DR. Without thinking I sent in my passport to be renewed. When I went to get their official birth certificates ,my new passport only had the entry stamps showings the dates for my younger daughter. therefore I was only able to get hers completed. what must I do to get the birth certificate for the older daughter. Any input will be greatly appreciated .

Thanks

I don't understand. Where was your other daughter born? Where are you trying to obtain her birth certificate, in the US or the DR?

They were both born and live in DR. If I am not mistaken, I need the official birth certificate on file in Santo domingo before I go US Consulate to file for a
Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a US Citizen.

I assume you declared your daughter in the D.R. at the time of her birth. Do you have a copy of the birth certificate that was issued to you then? If you do, just go to the Civil Registry mentioned on the certificate and request a certified copy. If you don’t have a copy of the certificate but you know that your daughter was declared in Santo Domingo, you (or your attorney) would have to do a search in every civil registry office in Santo Domingo until you find it.
