The US Embassy in Santo Domingo Consular Section's American Citizens Service Unit is introducing a new passport appointment system. According to an Embassy press release the new system comes in response to the large number of US citizens who have requested passports in the last year due to the implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). The initiative requires all US citizens entering the US to present a valid passport. This has led to a 100% increase in demand for passports. Anyone wishing to obtain a passport must make an appointment, by dialing 809 731-4468, and paying a fee for the process. Note that not everyone needs to make an appointment.
