Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone with experience or knowledge about Colombian travel documents can help clarify something for me.
I was born in Colombia but later became a naturalized U.S. citizen. I currently have both a U.S. passport and a Colombian passport. The issue is that my Colombian passport was issued when I was a minor, so it lists my identification type as TI (Tarjeta de Identidad).
Now that I’m an adult, I have my cédula de ciudadanía (CC), and it uses the same ID number as my old TI. However, my Colombian passport hasn’t been updated to reflect that change.
I’m planning to travel to Colombia soon, and I want to make sure I won’t run into any problems when entering or leaving the country.
My questions are:
Will having “TI” on my Colombian passport cause any issues now that I’m an adult with a CC?
Is it still valid to travel with that passport, or should I renew/update it before the trip?
Could this affect my ability to exit Colombia?
Any insight or personal experiences would really help. I’d rather sort this out ahead of time than deal with surprises at the airport.
