Cómo sacar la CÉDULA de Identidad en ECUADOR
How to Renew or Obtain a Citizenship ID in Ecuador
Steps to Access the Registration Page
- To begin, open your browser and search for "renew citizenship ID" or "obtain citizenship ID for the first time." This will direct you to the official Civil Registry page of Ecuador.
- The website provides options for both first-time issuance and renewal of the citizenship ID. Click on the relevant option to proceed.
Payment Information
- For first-time issuance, the fee is $5, while renewal costs $16. Various payment methods are available including online payments and virtual agencies.
- Accepted payment methods include credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners) as well as cash or bank transfers at different banks like Banco Pichincha and Produbanco. You can also use services like Servipagos and Western Union for agency payments.
- Note that credit card transactions can be made in installments ranging from three to twelve months if paid through specific modalities such as correspondent banking or internal banking systems. Basic requirements include having completed the payment process correctly.
Required Documentation
- Optional documents may include educational certificates, professional occupation proof, or military service certification for members of Ecuador's armed forces. These documents may facilitate processing but are not mandatory for all applicants.
Scheduling an Appointment
- Once on the Civil Registry page, click on "Schedule Your Appointment." If you have already registered, log in; otherwise, create a new account by entering your identification number to validate your information via email confirmation.
- After logging in successfully, navigate downwards on the page where you'll find options related to online payment for personal IDs or family IDs if applicable (e.g., children). Select "Personal ID Issuance" to continue scheduling your appointment after completing prior steps including payment verification.
Confirmation and Visit Process
- After confirming your appointment date (for example: February 3rd), ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes early with printed proof of payment which includes transaction details necessary for processing your application at the registry office.
- Upon arrival at the Civil Registry office, you will receive a ticket indicating your turn number (e.g., 64) and wait until called for photo capture as part of the ID issuance process.
Final Steps and Recommendations
- After waiting approximately two hours post-processing time mandated by law, return with your ticket to collect your renewed citizenship ID from designated modules (e.g., module 37 or 38). Ensure all steps were followed correctly during this process for smooth completion of obtaining or renewing your citizenship ID in Ecuador.
