My point is they already had both you and your wife's cedulas in their databases.The person doing the renewal can be anyone, they don´t look at the picture.
I do the one for my wife and we don´t look at all alike.

Marbete time!
Same with me, the bank teller alway writes down the placa number. Perhaps when you order them online this does not happen and you have to do it?
Just be thankful the plate numbers aren't preprinted when the produce the marbete.
It might be better if the plate # was printed instead of hand written. Every year, the hand written plate number has faded to invisible by summer. That's why I just stuck it on this morning, even though I bought it in November.
By summer, no law enforcement officer will bother to look at it.
Good point, I don't know as I've never done that. You would think that it comes from the system though in that case? I personally find it hard to believe (yes DR but still) that you would need to actually write your reg number yourself to an official govt doc... If it's so, then it's so but sounds strange...
The guy that drops it off writes the placa on the marbete....
Marbetes come on a continuous feed paper backing. I would think it would be fairly simple to set up to print plate numbers on a marbete.
I've got an old dot matrix printer and a few marbete backing forms. I'm half tempted to see how hard it would be.

Well, there's always the QR code... But then the officer checking the tag would have to actually scan the code, and obvious who would like to do that?🙄
I actually got the old printer out to give it a shot, but I couldn't find the cable to connect it.
I can't believe I was actually going to give it a shot. LOL
I never showed any ID, give my name, my cedula, etc., the car is not in my name.
They go strictly by the cedula printed on the registration copy.
In Sosua too. It doesn't bother me to see perpetual idiots who missed the deadline pulled over and being given costly infractions.
I bet Digisett hears every excuse in the book:
"It's my wife's car..., she must have forgot to put in on, maybe it's in the glovebox. "
"I am going the hospital to see my sick grandmother, I have her medicine and need to pay for her surgery"
"You know who I am ?" says the owner of a 1999 Toyota Corolla with more dents than a Sosua hooker's diaphragm.
"Hey you'll regret giving me a ticket, I know a General !", says Rey
Then you are going somewhere where you can get away with that.
This is the DR and we all know how common getting away with something can be.
You are DEAD WRONG here. Runners come in these places to get DOZENS of Marbetes at a time for DIFFERENT people with no ID for EACH one. That is a FACT..............
I have seen them in front of me when I have gotten mine. So annoying.
The point is that a cedula is already linked in the data bases.
And many places don't care about enforcing the laws. This is the DR after all.
It is the law that Cedulas should be presented as ID for financial transactions.
Yeah, I know, passports are also used.

I am from Canada (pretty sure some states do it too ? ) and the system that we use to employ was a license plate sticker due at the end of the month ( your birthday month ) so it cuts down the traffic instead of Dec-Feb madness here. The sticker you receive is just a plane jane sticker with a color ( representing the year ) and the month: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...ved=0CBMQjRxqFwoTCNjJ_LbIrYQDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE
but now if you see that article we just use an electronic registration because it just makes sense logically since it can be looked up in a database yay or nay.
Now, DR - they have one that goes inside the window which I think is pretty good because otherwise they'd all get stolen and resold for 500 peso. but, denying someone next year's sticker because there was no pen mark with my plate number is beyond stupid. If it was stolen it would have had creases and different textures potentially because of the adhesive and what Gringo is going to steal a license plate sticker or anyone that has a non-POS vehicle. There is a level of discretion and autonomy everywhere in the world for judgment calls and that one was a poor judgment call, are they not entered into the central DB ? I mean there is so many electronic errors here from poor network and people getting frustrated when entering forms and just voiding submissions altogether so I guess I can see where it would happen and I have enough time here to know there is no beating it unless you (1) walk away (2) pay them (3) ethically trick them first ( in my case photoshop the silly plate number since I paid the tax)
