Hi,
My cedula expired in 2005 and I heard that the 2005 expiry cedulas are valid til 2008. I need to renew my passport in London now(5 hours from home!) and a cedula is one of the requirements. Are all cedulas that expired in 2005 definitely valid until 2008? I don't want to get there and find that they won't accept my cedula.
Hope someone knows the answer!
Thanks
Fernando

Are you talking about a Dominican passport? If so, why don't you wait untill you get back to the DR. I don't think you need a valid passport to travel to the DR if you're Dominican.

The only thing I can suggest is that you contact the DR embassy and ask them. Good Luck and have a nice trip.

I could be wrong but

I read at Listin Diario that Leonel emited a decree (emitió un decreto?) where all cédulas would be valid for 10 years, therefore your cédula should be valid till 2010.

I was in DR March 2006 and I had no probs with my cédula, which also expired in 2005. I got the new passport and nobody said a peep about it.

I'll try and see if I can find a link that support this.

Edit to add: I'll contact the Dominican embassy in Sweden and ask.

According to the DR embassy here the c?dulas are valid for 10 years. Oh well, the good thing is that they're still valid haha.
