To obtain a cédula (national identification card) after marrying a Colombian, you need to ensure your marriage is legally recognized in Colombia, apply for a residence visa as the spouse of a Colombian citizen by submitting required documents like your marriage certificate and passport to the Colombian consulate or embassy, and once your visa is approved, register with the Colombian authorities and apply for your cédula at the nearest Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil (National Civil Registry) office.
Fidelity is an individual trait and can vary widely among people, regardless of their nationality. It’s not possible to generalize about the fidelity of all Colombians or any other group of people. Like in any society, there are Colombians who value fidelity in their personal relationships, while others may have different perspectives. Fidelity in a relationship depends on various factors such as personal values, life experiences, and individual circumstances.
In Colombia, several marriage options are available, including civil marriage, religious marriage, and common-law marriage. Civil marriage is legally recognized and conducted before a state official, such as a notary or a judge. A Religious leader performs religious marriage and holds legal validity if registered with civil authorities afterward. On the other hand, common-law marriage is a cohabitation without a formal contract. Still, it can be legally recognized after a certain period of continuous cohabitation through a judicial process. Each option has specific requirements and procedures that must be followed for legal recognition in Colombia.

The Resolution in Article 123 clarifies that all visas issued under the previous Resolution will maintain their original validity. Basically, there is nothing expressed that indicates that the time of validity of the same will be modified at the moment of the transfer by the transition regime.
All foreigners holding a residence visa that has been issued in previous Resolutions must carry out the transfer within two (2) years after the new Resolution becomes effective. Also, it is mandatory to carry out the process every five (5) years for all residence visas.
