Digital permit for minors’ travel will cost RD$6,300; it will be free for their first 30 days

Santo Domingo.– The General Directorate of Migration (DGM) launched this Thursday the new digital system for the issuance of the Minor’s Departure Permit, a process that will have a cost of RD$6,300 once a 30-day free period established to facilitate the adaptation of users to the platform concludes.

The entity reported that from the entry into force of the system and until June 28, 2026, parents or guardians may carry out the procedure free of charge via the internet. Subsequently, the service will have a fee of RD$6,300 for each travel authorization. The new mechanism will allow for the complete online management of the permits required for minors to leave the country, eliminating the need to travel to different institutions or present physical documents. The system will work through interoperability between state entities and automated information validations.

To request authorization, the accompanying parent must access the Migration portal, fill in the minor’s and both parents’ details, upload a recent photograph, and indicate the travel destination. The platform will perform a biometric validation and send a digital approval request to the other parent or legal guardian. Once the process is complete, the permit will be electronically registered in the immigration control systems and linked to the minor’s passport and the passport of the person authorized to accompany them, so it will not be necessary to print documents. The DGM also announced a multiple modality with a cost of RD$10,000, which will allow unlimited departures for one year with the same authorized person. Meanwhile, the regular permit will maintain a validity of 90 days. The authorities indicated that this digital transformation seeks to streamline procedures, reduce waiting times, and offer a safer and more efficient service for Dominican families.
