I know you can't do them more than 90 days before. I'm in the process of sorting mine out at the moment.

It looks complicated, but I figured, if other DR brides can do it - so can I! :):)

We've been told by our TA
Statatutory declaration that you must not have done more than 3 mths before.
Other documents
Birth Certificate &
the decree absolute (if divorcee) can be any time
... or so I've been told!
It's sooo expensive!

I contacted the Dominican consulate to find out from them what to do and when to so it. Here are the questions I asked and the answers I got.
1. How soon should we send you are documents to be translated and legalized?
With 3 month in advance
2. How long does it usually take before we would receive them back?
Around 5 or 10 working days
3. Does the birth certificate have to be the long form one or can it be
the card?
Can be small card
4. Do the witnesses only have to take their passports down there with them
and that is it?
Yes, but Usually you must fax to your wedding coordinator your witnesses
passport
I have attached the forms that they sent me. The first one is the requirements and fees. The second is the checklist, and the third is a declaration of single status. There is too much info to type it all out, so I put them as attachments. Make sure that you save them to you computer after opening them.

There's also the option of WEDO .:: dominican weddings legal requirements which I think may be slightly cheaper than DRSI.
