Juan Francisco Espinosa Palacios, General Director of Migración Colombia, announced the automation of two procedures that may benefit more than two thousand Colombian and foreign citizens per month.
We are talking about 2.0 version of the Certificate of Migratory Movements (CMM) and the ‘Cédula de Extranjería’.

I recently got my Visa, but have been unable to get the Cedula due to the Migracion office in Belen being closed. Is there another office in the Medellin area that will allow to get my Cedula?
Hello Karlee, unfortunately, the service to obtain the ‘Cédula’ is not yet enabled. The offices are still closed. Migración Colombia is moving forward to offer some services, that foreigners in Colombia need. For example, they have already enabled the Cédula duplicate service (this is for example, for people who have lost their ‘Cédulas’). We keep the information updated through our channels, we hope to have good news soon.
