I noticed that my citizenship cédula is set to expire in a month or so. There has been some talk about a new style of cédula being introduced either this year or next year. What is the current status of that, and should I wait to renew my cédula or should I do this before it expires?

There has also been talk of the DR introducing biometric passports. Is there any recent news about that?

You can not renew it right now, we have to wait until the new one is out.

I just read someone on Facebook saying they renewed their Residency a couple of days ago and got their cedula in fifteen minutes, so it seems they are issuing new ones in this case.

I know they have been issuing Cedulas all this time to people turning 18 because my friend's daughter got hers a few months ago. But renewal of Citizen Cedulas NO................And the one she got was the old kind............

I started a thread a couple days ago asking if anyone recently renewed temporary/permanent residency and what they experienced regarding the cedula. So far, no replies. My guess this person received the old version for their renewal.

Sorry - I thought that was the thread I was replying to!
