The Ministry of Public Health Resolution No. 9 puts into effect today the use of a pink-colored form for certifying births to non-resident foreigners in Dominican hospitals. The document is issued to confirm that the birth took place in the Dominican Republic and is required by foreign consulates for the registration of their foreign-born nationals in the DR. This is not the same as the official birth certificate that is issued to mothers who present their Dominican ID cards or foreigners with DR residency cards. The birth will also be registered in the Foreigners Register (Libro de Extranjeria) if it is determined that the child does not qualify for Dominican nationality at birth. The Ministry of Public Health is responsible for making the forms available to hospitals nationwide.
