Good morning all. I am wondering what hoops I was going to have to jump through to renew my Cedula.

Where to go?
What to bring?
Cost?

Mine is a permanent resident 5 year Cedula.

i renewed mine in late September... at the immigration office .. take a number..in the afternoons after 1:30.. you need a new census registration paper .. buy it there.. i got my cedula in a few minutes and paid nothing except for the registration paper .. but that was September ..

Things have changed!!! Good Luck!!!!

Walt -

I did it in September too, and we made two appointments of the same day, one for me and one for Molly. The appointments took 1/2 hour in total, and we were done. Make copies of everything you normally bring:
- Passport
- Proof of having enough money, or sponsor letter from your employer
- Proof of registration at the "bevolking". (Same lobby, $10 charge)
- Proof of medical insurance (not sure if you need that any more) Otherwise the usual slip from SVB will work.
- 2 photos from Paradise Photo, since I don't know anyone else who does them.
- A completed application form (like the old "model 3".

I think that's it, but I may have missed something.

I pay someone Walt..the stress was too much. I am good until 2012. If you want the name of my guy, email me at ann@bonairecaribbean.com

bob ..... i am a permanent resident -for the last 25 years- so i go through the local process which is as i mentioned above ..

21 years here, permanent residency with a Dutch Passport. In the past it wasn't too bad after waiting in line. Go in buy paper get picture taken, digitally sign, wait for it to be printed. Was hoping it was still the same now.

walt ..for me it was as you describe .. the other process seems to hold for temporary residents .. a friend of mine -also long time permanent resident renewed as quickly about 2 weeks ago ...

forgot ... go before expiration .. if you let your cedula expire.. the grand headaches begin ..

what is a Cedula? sounds strange in a Dutche men ears

Cedula = Identiteitskaart

ahaa okay thank you Bruce

I have heard that it could take a have year before my visum is ready... I hope the understand I live on Bonaire and that I am a not a tourist... At all
