I recently was in Santtiago and tried to open a back account in Ban reservas i called from miami they ok all u need was passport and check stubs and w-2. But when i got there she siad no-no I had to have a cedula because even though im a citizen ai was born in DR. So then I went to the Junta E C to get then then they told me I wasn't in there system and they couldnt help me without the birth certificate because they said they coulnd't find me in there books. So they tried to send me to Ssanto Domingo i was like you gotta be kidding me . I said no way i get my birthcertificate which i had in miami. THey said the Junta in Miami could help me i didn't even know there was a JUnta in the Brickell consulate .
Anyways I get to the Junta with my birth certificate and the said it was old and the had to call santiago to help me out but that they would try which is a positive. Now I'm thinking great i will have a cedula within a month or so to go back to DR and open an acoount. To my surprise they said even if they help me that the cedula would only be available after the elections after May i said you got to be kidding me he said nope you will have to wait that was just crazy all this for a freakin bank account.
The said they will call me within 15 days to see if they can help. I left them a copy if my birth certificate I asked them do you need ID , my passsport or Drivers License he said no put it to the side of his desk he was going to forget about which Im almost sure that whats gonna happen . But Im gonna go down there and follow up just to make sure. Wow something so simple is turning into a hassle just for a bank account..If anybody knows an easier process let me know please . I need a cedula !!!!!
