Notarized letter from father for K2

Sorry if asked before, but are notorized letters from child's father giving permission for mother to take child out of country required for the Dominican Republic? I know every country is different, thats why I ask.

Thank you

Check to see if they require that plus a face to face meeting. A notarized letter doesn't mean much in of itself.

Hmm why would you say that?

OP asked for this thread to me moved to the country specific forum. It is very different from embassy to embassy how they do it. Some don't care others just need full custody and others want the notarized letter.

It is country specific and that is why I said to check. We're talking about giving away custody rights and with child trafficking issues some countries are really strict about what is required. I went through this with adopting a child from Guatemala.

For the D.R. yes it is a requirement.

You have to contact a lawyer to draw-up the paperwork.

You will need a official long copy of the child's birth papers.

You need the mom and dad's ID

You need photo of the child 2x2 size

It will run you about $4,000.00RD

Then that paper is only good for 30 days.

Good Luck!

No one is talking about giving away parental rights, only permission from birth father to travel out of country. I found the answer, paper is drawn up by a local lawyer and the father must sign.
