As planned, on Monday I went and picked up my new residency card. It looks quite different from the old one and the number is very different. The old one had the same number as my old cedula. Today I went to pick up my new cedula. The process was painless, with the exception of my wallet being $150 lighter, in and out in less than ten minutes. Same number as my previous ones. I did notice that while the cedula has my street adress on the back, the residency card does not. Oh, and another thing, the new card makes me look several years older.
