Does the Catholic Church perform non-civil marriages in the Dominican Republic?

The relevant passages of the Code of Canon Law are (emphasis mine):
Can. 1067 The conference of bishops is to establish norms about the examination of spouses and about the marriage banns or other opportune means to accomplish the investigations necessary before marriage. After these norms have been diligently observed, the pastor can proceed to assist at the marriage.
Can. 1071 §1. Except in a case of necessity, a person is not to assist without the permission of the local ordinary at:
1/ a marriage of transients;
2/ a marriage which cannot be recognized or celebrated according to the norm of civil law;
3/ a marriage of a person who is bound by natural obligations toward another party or children arising from a previous union;
4/ a marriage of a person who has notoriously rejected the Catholic faith;
5/ a marriage of a person who is under a censure;
6/ a marriage of a minor child when the parents are unaware or reasonably opposed;
7/ a marriage to be entered into through a proxy as mentioned in can. 1105.
§2. The local ordinary is not to grant permission to assist at the marriage of a person who has notoriously rejected the Catholic faith unless the norms mentioned in can. 1125 have been observed with necessary adaptation.
In principle, the people you mention fall into the second case of subsection 1 of canon 1071; which means that the pastor of the people wishing to marry would have to contact his local Ordinary (that is, his Bishop) to obtain permission to assist at the marriage. I don't expect such a permission is difficult to obtain, given the concrete situation, but it does show that "a marriage which cannot be recognized or celebrated according to the norm of civil law" can still be celebrated by the Church, given the pastor takes a bit of care to prepare beforehand.
So I recommend that those people who do not have any documents to talk to their pastors, and they will advise them on how to proceed in order to contract a valid marriage.
