CEDULA RENEWAL FORMS

Observations:

Panamanian citizens residing abroad who have held a Panamanian National Identity Card after reaching the age of majority may renew or request a duplicate of their previous ID card if it was lost before its expiration date.

If it is a duplicate ID, your ID will be exactly the same as the previous one, with the same expiration date.

If the person has previously processed a juvenile ID (issued from age 12) and is between the ages of 18 and 20, they can apply for their first ID card at our office.

If the person has only processed a juvenile ID and did not apply for an adult ID after turning 21, they must travel to Panama and apply for their first ID card within the national territory. We can only process renewals or first-time applications between ages 18 and 20 for those who have had a juvenile ID from the age of 12.
