My cedula has expired. My DNI is permanent and will not expire but they now have newer documents, not the clumsy old paper book that I still have. Are there others out there with Residencia Permanente who have applied for and received replacement documents? I went to a place in Patio Bullrich where they help people get documents but they told me that it is only for Argentines. Apparently I have to go to Migraciones. Is this true? And if so, how long does it take? The Federal Police were efficient with cedulas -- in and out with the document in a couple of hours. My experience with migracines years ago was a nightmare so I wonder is this is true now. I need to travel so can not be without the DNI. Another consideration.
