How can I know if I am eligible to obtain an ID card at the Registro Civil?

Once your immigration benefit has been granted, you will have 30 days to schedule an appointment to obtain your ID card at the Registro Civil e Identificación. 

IMPORTANT: Once your benefit has been approved, you will have to wait approximately 10 working days before you are eligible. 

If you are not eligible within this period, you will have to submit a Siac request.

Then, select the option “Primera Cédula” o “Renovar Cédula” to obtain your first Identity Card or to Renew your Identity Card.
