As of this Monday, April 24, Colombians residing in the United States will be able to process your digital ID directly from this country.
This after a decision by the Foreign Ministry and the National Registry that chose the United States as pilot in your plan to offer this service to those who live abroad.
According to the Foreign Ministry, in the coming months the plan will also be extended to other countries in Latin America and Europe.

Once you are ready, the citizen must go back to the consulate to receive the physical version of the digital ID and activate it on your mobile device.
During the launch of the event, at the Colombian Consulate in Miami, the Colombian ambassador to the United States, Luis Gilberto Murillo said: “Together with the National Registry of Civil Status, we work to facilitate access of Colombians in the United States to State services. It is a source of satisfaction for us and continues to be one of our great objectives that all Colombian citizens, in the United States have an easier interaction, friendly and efficient with the services provided by the State”.

The National Registry has trained Foreign Ministry officials and the consulates in the management of these stations and in the digital activation of the new ID, with the aim of providing a comprehensive service to Colombians residing abroad.
