Legalisation requirements for Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961 and the FCDO Apostille only should suffice for documents to be used in the Dominican Republic.
However, before the Apostilled document can be used in the Dominican Republic, it must be translated into Spanish by a professional translator and the translation is required to be attested by the Consulate of the Dominican Republic in London.
