- Original cédula de ciudadanía (or the original contraseña receipt if you do not have the card yet)
- To collect the passport: original Colombian ID and the payment receipt
- Ordinary passports are valid for 10 years; processing at consulates takes about 8 working days
- Minors: accompanied by a parent or legal representative with their cédula; a third party needs a special power of attorney from both parents (apostilled and translated into Spanish if made abroad)
