Migración Colombia is currently taking approximately 35 calendar days (up from 10 businessdays) to issue identification cards. This delay stems from the April 2024 change in contractors that Migración Colombia uses to issue identification cards. Due to the delay, foreign nationals' work start dates may have to be pushed back since identification cards are needed to sign up for the national social security system, among other processes such as opening bank accounts.
