RALEIGH, N.C.\u2014The Dominican community living in North Carolina welcomed the news that the Dominican Republic<\/a> will establish a consular representation in Raleigh, an initiative that for years had been considered one of the diaspora\u2019s main needs in the state.<\/p>

The measure was formalized through Decree 350-26, issued by Dominican President Luis Abinader, which made new appointments within the Dominican foreign service. Among them was the appointment of Mar\u00eda Luisa Ubiera Zorrilla as consul general of the Dominican Republic in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>

Several national media outlets confirmed that Raleigh has officially been incorporated as a new Dominican consular post in the United States<\/a>, a decision that responds to the region\u2019s sustained population growth and long-standing demands for closer access to consular services.<\/p>

For thousands of Dominicans living in North Carolina, opening the office means an end to long trips to other states to complete essential procedures such as passport renewals, document legalization, powers of attorney, birth certificate requests, citizen assistance, and other government services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
