At Tannus & Asociados, we aim to keep foreigners in Colombia informed about regulations affecting their migratory status. The Resolution 4222 of 2024, recently published by Migración Colombia, introduces significant changes to the process of issuing the Foreigner’s ID Card or Cedula de extranjeria. These updates impact all foreigners with visas valid for more than three months.
What does Resolution 4222 establish?
The resolution introduces the “Foreigner’s ID Card Receipt” (Contraseña de Cédula de Extranjería), a temporary document that certifies the process while the foreigner waits for the definitive card.

Before the Resolution
- There was no official temporary document to certify the process, which created difficulties in proving migratory status in certain situations.
- The only available support was the application receipt, which lacked security features and automated validation by authorities.
Changes Introduced by Resolution 4222
- New Foreigner’s ID Card Receipt: Established as an official document to certify the ongoing process.
- Enhanced security and validation: The document includes personal data and a QR code, allowing authorities to automatically verify the information in real time.
- Guaranteed migratory regularity: This document ensures the foreigner’s legal status while waiting for the definitive ID card.
Aspects That Have Not Changed
- Issuing the receipt does not involve additional costs.
- The steps and requirements for applying for the Foreigner’s ID Card remain the same.
