Until December 31, 2006, you can travel to the Dominican Republic without having a passport if you are a US citizen. All that you need is some form of picture ID. Nevertheless, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you have a passport.

Starting January 1st, 2007, a passport will be required of everyone in order to travel back to the U. S.

Yes or some sort of government I.D. because you're traveling from the U.S. to a foreign country.

this is what the dominican government lists as requirements:DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - Passport is strongly recommended, but tourists may enter with birth certificate and photo ID. A tourist card is required, and can be purchased for $10 at consulate or Dominican airports at entry points. Tourist card permits a legal stay of up to 60 days.

if you are a u.s citizen you dont really need it but to avoid any problems i recommend you do get one for safety reasons. I have personally traveled to Dom. Rep. without a passport all my life, but last time i did which was recentry i got stopped and questioned by the immigration services...and it wasnt fun at all...i almost missed my plane! They asked me a whole bunch of questions about the united states and luckily i passed them. I did have different ID's and things that proved i am a citizen...but they still decided on asking me these many questions. If you dont travel over there without a passport...bring your birth certificate(of the u.s) if you are a citizen and bring enough proof that you are one. K...bye ;O)

Depends on your nationality. French people (and other country from europe, canada...) have to got only one identity card for tourism < 3 months.

Currently all you need is a picture ID and a birth certificate with a raised seal on it. After 2008 you will need a passport.

You always need a passport when traveling outside the USA.
