The dr1 search engine is based on a complex algorithm that mimicks a dominican hive mind....... so I gave up, and will just post it here.
I noticed on the 4th or the 5th of january that my residency expired the 11th...... I was sure it was of february...... but it wasnt ..... testominy to how often a cedula is used
Well it still worked out fine.
Here was the process. Its very easy.
renovacion de residencia temporal.
- first of all you go to the DGM website. Must google it. And you login ( or follow the instructions for first timers ).
You navigate through the menus and choose
renovacion de residencia temporal.
There is a bunch of requisitos, and you have to upload a digital copy on-site ( just take a picture with your phone, no need for a scanner or a computer ).
1.
IF you are married to a domincan/a.
acto de matrimonio inextenso. Available at your local JCE.
500 pesos.
It needs to be legalised, which is
free, but only available in " big " towns. Instead of going to santiago, i paid an extra
300 pesos, and it was delivered to my house the next day, by motoconcho.
2.
certificado de no antecedentes penal. Go to a
ban reservas and get the
impuesto of
600 pesos
It is supposedly available online ( google procuderia general de la republica ), and you can pay with a credit card ( a big no-no for me ) or with the 12 # code on your reciept from the ban reservas.
Assuming on-line works, you get an email with the document.
Otherwise, go to a palacio de justicia, in santiago for example, hand your tax reciept over, wait 1m30s, and walk out with the document.
Please note, that even if the DGM website says it needs
legalisar o appostillado, IT DOES NOT.
3. Identity photos.
100 pesos anywhere, even in the smallest village. Tamaño 2x2 , white back ground. Face on.
4.copy of your cedula, residencia, passport, and spouses cedula.
5. The reppatriation insurance. I got it from
commercial de seguros in santiago.
5500 pesos.
6.A letter written to ask for your renovacion, basically. Another poster had posted a "type-letter" a while back. I just change the date each year lol.
7. Upload all that stuff on the DGM website.
8. Wait a couple of days. When you check
mi pagina et says pending evaluacion or something or other
9. When all is OK, still on your pagina, you print out a document, which has your name, your case number, and the DGM address in SD.
10.Do 2 copies of all of the above. So thats 1 original + 2 copies.
100 pesos
- OK. So armed with your print-out, all your original documents, and 2 copies of each, head to DGM in SD.
They will only ask for the originals, not even your passport, cedula, etc....copies. Likewise they will not ask for the letter ( dont ask why its in the requisitos ). Nor will they ask for the idemtity photographs.I WOULD STILL SUGGEST YOU DO BRING EVERYTHING.
Console yourself by knowing you injected 200 pesos for nothing into your local community.
- first of all go to the front desk. Tell them its for a renovacion. They ask to,see the printout, and they give you a number/ticket.
- then you enter the DGM for foreigners big room. Take a seat on your right. Check the TV screen. When your number comes up, go the
ventilla number indicated next to it.
Now hand over all your originals. The guy/lady checks, hands you a document where you write down your full name, and then sign.
If you want everything sorted out the same day, say yes to,the VIP question.
- now head over to the other side of the big room ( the left hand side as you come in ).
Wait to they call you over to 1 of the 3
cajas.
THIS CAN TAKE UP TO AN HOUR WAITING. DO NOT WORRY.
when they call you, by name ( watch out for pronunciation ), you will pay the fee
5000 pesos + 1000 if u chose VIP.
- take a seat and wait to they call you, by name, to get the photograph taken.
Once they do call your name, head back to the entrance, towards a small booth. Hand over your cedula, get a
pass in exchange.
Wait by the security guard.
Get metal-scanned.
Walk in the buzz-door.
Straight on your left, a small room.
Picture taken. Fingerprints. Eye scan.
- go back out, go to booth, hand over the
pass, get cedula back.
Now go and loiter near the
vemtillana 12. After a fashion, they call you over, you sign the ledger + full name and they hand you your new
residencia temporal.
