If you are under 18, and from Canada, do you need a passport to go to Dominican?

Question

I have heard that you only need a birth certificate and a student card.

Answer 1

Wow....finally one person got it right.  A passport is not required from Canada.  Only a Birth Certificate and photo ID.  The only time a passport would be required is if you are going to be deplaning in the US.  

People, if you don't know then don't bother answering with false info.

Answer 2

Your age has nothing to do with it.  Yes you can travel with just your birth certificate.  You can use the site below...enter your nationality and destination, then click for the info.  you will see that it says a passport is required OR, you may use your birth certificate.  The rules are DIFFERENT for Canadians than for Americans.

Answer 3

What's the problem to travel with passport? Passport is your international official ID by excellence, issue your passport if you don't have one, if you are underage, you prob will travel with your parents.

Answer 4

The entire name is Domenican REPUBLIC... ask for a ticket to "Domenican' and you will end up in DOMENICA... several hundred AmeriKans every year end up in Domenica because they can't use whole place names.

And YES... Everyone needs a passport to enter the D.R. and you won't even be able to buy an airline ticket unless you can produce your Passport when you buy the ticket

Answer 5

Age has nothing to do, you need a passport and you need to buy a visa at the arrival (airport).
