Do I Need to Travel to Dominica?
For many CBI citizens, the main concern is whether they must travel to Dominica simply to obtain the document.
Our service is specifically designed to assist Dominica CBI citizens living abroad.
You can send the required documents and information to us electronically for initial review. We then coordinate the process in Dominica on your behalf.
Once completed, the original document can be sent to your overseas address.
What Documents Are Required?
CBI citizens should generally be prepared to provide:
- Copy of your Dominican passport bio-data page
- Copy of your Certificate of Naturalization
- Two passport-size photographs
- Required application information
- Your current overseas address
- Details of the purpose for which the Police Record is required
- Courier delivery address, if the original document is to be sent overseas
Additional documents may be required depending on your circumstances.
We recommend sending your passport bio page and Certificate of Naturalization to us first so that your requirements can be reviewed before the application begins.
Are Fingerprints Required for a Dominica Police Record?
This is one of the most common questions asked by CBI citizens living abroad.
Fingerprint requirements can depend on the circumstances and requirements applicable to the Police Record application.
If fingerprints are required in your case, we will advise you of the requirements before submission so that the appropriate documents can be prepared from your country of residence.
This is particularly important for applicants living overseas, as the correct procedure should be confirmed before fingerprints or other supporting documents are sent to Dominica.
Can You Apostille the Police Record?
Yes.
If your Dominican Police Record is being presented to a foreign government, immigration authority, employer or other institution, you may be asked to have the document authenticated.
Domiciliary Services provides a Dominica Apostille Service and can coordinate the Apostille after the Police Record has been issued.
This means you do not have to arrange the Police Record and Apostille separately.
We can manage the process from the initial Police Record application through to Apostille and international delivery.
What Is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of authentication used to certify public documents for international use between countries that recognize the Apostille process.
Depending on the country and authority requesting your document, your Dominican Police Record may need an Apostille before it will be accepted.
You should always confirm the document requirements with the foreign authority requesting your Police Record.
