Dominica Country Code +1 767
The international country calling code for the Commonwealth of Dominica is +1 767. Dominica is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), so its numbers look similar to US and Canadian numbers but are assigned to the 767 area code. You will see +1 767 on calls related to eco-tourism and adventure travel, cruise ship calls into Roseau and Portsmouth, offshore services, local government offices and mobile users on the island.
In the NANP format, a full Dominica number is written as +1 767 NXX XXXX (country code 1, area code 767, then 7-digit subscriber number). Locally, people often write numbers as (767) 448-1234 or simply 448-1234 when the area code is implied. For your systems, a clean storage format is +1767 plus 7 digits with no spaces.
This guide covers how Dominica phone numbers are structured, how to dial +1 767 from abroad, how the America/Dominica time zone works (Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4), and what to keep in mind when calling tourism operators, local businesses and mobile contacts on the island.
Important: Dominica (+1 767) is not the same country as the Dominican Republic (+1 809 / +1 829 / +1 849). Always confirm whether a Caribbean contact is for Dominica (DM) or the Dominican Republic (DO) before saving the number.

Overview – where +1 767 is used
The code +1 767 belongs to Dominica, often called the “Nature Island of the Caribbean” for its volcanic peaks, rainforests, waterfalls and hot springs. You’ll encounter +1-767 numbers when dealing with hotels, guesthouses and tour guides, cruise excursion operators, local shipping agents, government offices and residents.
Because Dominica is part of the North American Numbering Plan, its phone numbers follow the familiar “1 + area code + 7 digits” pattern. However, calls to +1-767 are generally treated as international Caribbean calls by many operators, not as domestic US calls, so tariffs can be different even though the numbers look similar.
For businesses, accurately classifying +1-767 numbers as belonging to Dominica (ISO code DM) rather than the United States or Canada is important for billing, fraud checks, risk scoring and marketing segmentation.
Typical +1-767 use cases in business & travel
- Tourism & cruise calls – hotels, dive shops, hiking guides, taxi cooperatives and cruise excursion agents.
- Local services – utilities, government offices, schools and health providers serving residents and expatriates.
- Offshore & remote work – small financial, IT or remote-support teams connecting with clients abroad.
Many Dominica contacts rely heavily on mobile phones and messaging apps. A +1-767 mobile number is often the fastest way to reach tour operators, drivers or field staff.
Dominica phone number formats (+1-767)
Pattern: +1 767 NXX XXXX (NANP)Dominica shares the country code +1 with the US, Canada and other NANP members, but it has its own dedicated area code 767. A full number therefore looks like: +1 767 XXX XXXX, where the first three digits after 767 form the exchange (NXX) and the last four digits form the line number.
- • Country code: +1 (North American Numbering Plan).
- • Dominica area code: 767.
- • Full international format: +1 767 NXX XXXX – for example +1 767 448 1234.
- • Local format: often written as 448-1234 or (767) 448-1234, depending on context.
- • Length: 10 digits (1 + 3 + 7) for standard NANP numbers; 7 digits within the 767 area.
For software and databases, store Dominica numbers in E.164 as +1767 plus 7 digits (for example +17674481234). This avoids confusing them with US/Canadian numbers and makes validation straightforward.

How to dial Dominica (+1-767)
1. From the USA or Canada (NANP)
Because Dominica is part of the NANP, calling from the US or Canada uses the same basic pattern as many North American numbers:
- Dial 1 – NANP country code.
- Dial 767 – Dominica area code.
- Dial the 7-digit local number (NXX-XXXX).
Example (US → Roseau number 448-1234): 1 767 448 1234. Your carrier may still bill this as an international Caribbean call.
2. From Europe or other world regions
From most countries outside the NANP you dial:
- Dial your international access code (often 00).
- Dial 1 – NANP country code.
- Dial 767 – Dominica area code.
- Dial the 7-digit local number.
Example (UK → Dominica mobile 275-5678): 00 1 767 275 5678.
3. Inside Dominica & calling abroad
- Within Dominica: locals typically dial the 7-digit number directly (448-1234) or include the area code (767) if needed.
- From Dominica to other NANP countries: dial 1 + area code + number (for example 1-305-555-0123 for Miami).
- From Dominica to non-NANP countries: dial 011 + destination country code + number (for example 011-44… for the UK).
For consistency, apps and CRMs should treat all Dominica phone records as +1767 plus 7 digits, regardless of whether calls originate inside or outside the NANP.
Normalisation tip: if a user types (767) 448-1234,
1-767-448-1234 or 0044 1 767 448 1234, your system can strip punctuation, detect
the 767 area code and standardise the record as +17674481234.
Time in Dominica – America/Dominica (AST, UTC-4)
Dominica operates on Atlantic Standard Time (AST), which is UTC-4 all year. There is currently no daylight saving time shift, so the local time remains fixed at UTC-4 across the seasons. The IANA time zone identifier used in software is America/Dominica.
This places Dominica in the same time band as many Eastern Caribbean islands and typically one hour ahead of US Eastern Time during winter, and aligned or slightly offset during parts of the summer depending on DST in North America.
For travel and operations, this means that morning in Dominica overlaps well with business hours in Europe, while afternoon on the island can accommodate calls with North America before the end of the local workday.
Dominica time compared with other cities
| City / region | Time zone | Typical offset vs Dominica |
|---|---|---|
| Roseau (Dominica) | America/Dominica (AST, UTC-4) | Reference |
| New York | America/New_York | ≈ 0 to −1 hour (seasonal) |
| London | Europe/London | ≈ +4 to +5 hours (seasonal) |
| Berlin | Europe/Berlin | ≈ +5 to +6 hours (seasonal) |
| São Paulo | America/Sao_Paulo | ≈ 0 to +1 hour (seasonal) |
| Beijing | Asia/Shanghai | ≈ +12 hours |
In your tools, assign Dominica users to America/Dominica so clock changes in other regions do not accidentally shift their displayed local time.
Safety & emergency calls in Dominica
Dominica uses national emergency short codes for police, fire and medical services. The exact digits and routing can be updated over time as networks modernise, so visitors and organisations should always rely on current local guidance rather than assuming codes from other countries.
In practice, many travellers and cruise guests treat their hotel, tour operator or ship’s reception as a first point of contact in non-life-threatening situations, and use local emergency numbers for serious incidents when instructed by local authorities.
National emergency lines
Short codes
The island uses short emergency numbers that connect to police, fire and ambulance. Check with your accommodation or local partner for the current recommended emergency codes.
Hotels & tour operators
First contact
Many hotels and tour companies maintain 24/7 numbers for guests – save these in your phone in +1-767 format along with any global insurance hotlines.
Organisations & crews
Internal protocols
Cruise lines, NGOs and companies usually provide their teams with internal +1-767 emergency contacts or duty officer numbers, which should be called in parallel with national services when needed.
Practical tip
Confirm on arrival
On arrival in Dominica, ask your hotel, local partner or ship whether any universal codes (such as 911 or 112) are supported on your network and which local emergency numbers they recommend you save.
Because infrastructure and routing can change, treat the emergency information provided locally (by authorities, hospitality staff or your employer) as the primary source for up-to-date procedures.
