Cédulas

The cedula has to be renewed in-person at the Consulate of Panama in Los Angeles

Panamanians living abroad who at some time have carried a personal Panamanian identity card (CEDULA), may renew or process a duplicate through the consulates if they have obtained a Panamanian Cedula as an adult.

In case the person has never processed a Panamanian youth identity card (Cedula Juvenil), and has reached the age of 18, he or she must request the first Adult Cedula ID card in Panama.

Note: In case you have had a Panamanian youth identity card (Cedula Juvenil) starting at the age of 14 and you are in ages on 18-20 you are able to apply for your first Adult Cedula ID card in our office.

Steps to follow:

If it is renewal:

Bring the expired personal identity card. If you do not have it, you can bring your passport or some other personal identification document
