Likewise it is important to clarify that Section 236, Public Law 106-113, the United States. And the questions that have motivated the various responses Dominican passport concern for the children of foreign-born Dominicans.
The international abduction of children by parents is a matter of serious concern to the United States. To help prevent child abduction, Congress passed Section 236 of Public Law 106-113, also known as the requirement of consent from both parents. This law requires both parents to execute a passport application for the benefit of those under 16 years (from February 1, 2008 the age requirement was changed from 14 to 16 years). If only one parent executes the application, that parent must establish their custody status or to persuade the parent that is not running the application give written consent, except in cases of critical or special family circumstances. Written consent is an integral part of the passport application and becomes part of the passport file. An individual may apply "in loco parentis on behalf of a child under 16 years by submitting an affidavit of consent from both parents and notarized written specifically authorizing the application. However, if only one parent provides written consent affidavit notarized, you must present documented evidence that he alone has the sole legal custody the child.
Requirements as specified by law:
Both parents or legal guardian must execute the application and provide documentary evidence showing that parents or guardians, or The person running the application must provide documented evidence that: has sole custody of the child; have the consent of the other parent for the issuance of the passport (form) or is "in loco parentis and has the consent of both parents, or the parent with sole custody of the child, or legal guardian, even the issuance of the passport. regulations required in section (A) may provide exceptions in cases of critical circumstances, such as those involving the health or welfare of the child, or when the Secretary determines that the issuance of a passport is warranted by special family circumstances.
Given the requirements of this new section of law, the person running the passport for the benefit of the minor must provide at least one of the following:
paternity and identity testing. A copy of birth certificate or other official document appointing the child and the name of both parents, and proof of identity of the parents, as a passport or other piece of identification with photo and signature visibly clear.

Parental consent is not present. The other parent may come to the Consular section in person and sign the passport application at the time of submission, or provide written consent authorizing the issuance of the passport. The written consent must be accompanied by a copy of the passport of a parent or other piece of photo identification which appears clearly visible signature.
Proof that the parent running the application has full custody of the child. (Eg, birth certificate where it appears only the mother's name, court order granting the sole legal custody to the father in question, the death certificate of the father in question, etc..)
