I am renewing right now to get the 10 years. The hardest part was pulling myself together, collecting the documents and uploading it in the right format on the DGM website. Just need to upload photo now. It is very possible that having a company here with everything in order and owing a property smooths the process. But I didn't read the article yet though.It’ll be easier for some to get DR residency soon

I have my appointment to pick up my residency and cédula card at the end of this month. Hopefully it works out before I fly back to Europe. It says something about biometric at the appointment on my account at the DGM with my application for the 10 years. So if it is biometric you have to be the in person I think.
It usually only takes 20 minutes max to get your cedula at JCE. At DGM, it frequently takes an hour and a half and all they do is take digital finger prints, foto, and print out your residency card. Ridiculous.
I don't get both at the DGM ?
It was in 2017 I renewed last time and I only remember being at the DGM. It expired June 2021 so I am doing a late renewal. Will be interesting to see how it goes but I have the DGM appointment.
I am awaiting my appointment next week at the DGM. Will see where they tell me to go for the cédula. From the last couple of years after my residency expired it is actually my impression that you are just considered late regarding renewing. I have still used my cédula Id number at the bank, Claro etc. You don't loose it.
There is an expiration date on your cedula. Check to see if it is still valid. Some transactions, at some places, if they notice, are not possible with an expired cedula.
Yes it expired but with the few things I had to do it was not a problem. Still I look forward to have the renewed residency card and cédula card. Although I am actually not moving back yet. But I also used my passport together with the cédula Id nr.
Years ago I tried using my expired cedula to get money from western union. They refused. I had to go home and get my passport. (note-it was not my fault my residency was expired. I had to do tons of medical stuff they wanted, blood work, analysis and other stuff, and had to wait for money to get it done. I did not have to pay late fees even though renewal was 5 months late.)
