Cedulas
Not sure about the first three digits of the cedula...
We did the biometric thing on January 19, and have heard nada! I had actually forgotten about it until I read your post!
I believe the first three digits relate to the town where you live. Could be wrong though.....
I also did the biometric thing and have heard nothing!

The first three digits indicate the municipality where the c?dula holder was first registered. Mine, for example, begins with 056, meaning that I'm from San Francisco de Macor?s.
There were only two digits in the old days. People used to say then "you are 'serie' 56," meaning "you are from San Francisco de Macor?s." People from Santo Domingo were ?serie? 1, which everybody called ?serie palito?(palito = small stick = 1), later converted to 001. Santiago was ?serie 31", now it's 031.

Greetings,
"biometric thing"? Not sure what you mean here. I read about the DR Gov requiring the "biometric thing" but I was never sure exactly what that meant. DNA? I dunno. However I received my cedula about a month ago (after initially applying in Nov 08) and the final process included an "electronic fingerprint"...which I did not care for, but complied. Same day they gave me the cedula so I imagine my prints are in some DR Database.....probably connected and shared with the states. I'm a conspiracy theorist....sorry!
So...what exactly is the biometric thing?:ermm:

A new picture and a fingerprint. Same thing we did when we got the Cedula's in the first place...not sure how this is any different!
Oh, they also verified our address and took our phone numbers - apparently so they can call us when the new cards arrive....whenever that may be.
Interesting.....this was not mentioned to me when I did mine, and my blood type is NOT on my current Cedula....:ermm:
