The American Citizens Services (ACS) Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo offers support to U.S. citizens who are victims of crime in the Dominican Republic.
Victims should promptly contact local authorities and secure a copy of the police report, which may be necessary for insurance claims, victim assistance programs, or document replacement. The ACS Unit provides information on the local criminal justice process, a list of English-speaking attorneys, case monitoring, and passport replacement.
For help, individuals can reach the ACS Unit at 809-567-7775 ext. 7700 any time or email SDOAmericans@state.gov.
