Are there clear steps in getting a Colombian passport?

papiChulo says on Nov 4, 2008, 12:06:

I don't know the govt. office you need to go to but it's amazingly simple for a Colombian... they just show the cedula and its done.
Anyway that was my experience about 5 yrs ago in Medellin.

I'm givin'er... givin'er HARDCORE

It's EAAAAASY, especially in big cities like Medellín and Bogotá. She just needs her cédula, copies of her cédula (front and back), 3 passport photos and $$. I think it's like $100 or so. That's it. If in doubt, she can just call to find out.

Dang! Are you kidding me?

It's in the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores:

$80.000.00/90.000 pesos and in Bogotá it is at Calle 100 Nº 17 - 25. Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 3:00 pm No more than two/three hours if you have the paper work. I would call first to get the latest on the required paper work: 562.7449, 562. 7457, 562.7499

"this may seem a strange post but it is not...when in colombia men need to be aware that colombia women may try to be seductive and entice a travelling gringo to have sex with them..to be forewarned is to be forearmed..." -- pow wow

Adriana, I was at first angered by your comment. But since you said with all due respect, I don't think badly of your insult. With all due respect, get a life and keep your idiotic questions to yourself.

thank you to all the other, besides Adriana & vicshere, who helped with this post.

on the other hand maybe she is 18 years old and has no idea about life in general....lets see 18 years old 6 month old baby out of wedlock....and has no idea of how to get a passport in her own country....buddy this sticks of problems....run for the hills....oh also the next step is the father asks money to sign the permission letter....it’s a common tactic

Mandotech, first I was feeling sorry for you for having such a not very clever spanish speaking gf who had no idea how to read a phonebook or call information but Now I feel sorry for her, it seems you re one of those typical rednecks who sadly visit our country and have trailer's manners)
Have a lovely day. ( Your gf only needs to go to the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores with 80-100K pesos 3 pictures and a cedula de ciudadania, if she has it.If she's underage she needs go with her parents)

Adriana, you are wrong, I am a untypical redneck who sadly visits your country. Hmmmm I don't think there are anyone who has manners at my trailer park. Perhaps I can ask my sister (ex-wife) about this topic. thanks for your sympathy.
