Can I get a Colombian passport in Bogotá, and how long does it take?

According to the Colombian government, you can get a passport from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs located in Bogotá or even one of its regional offices.

It doesn’t look like it should take too long. According to the same source, the processing time is 24 hours in Bogotá and 48 hours in the regional offices. This is the time from after you have submitted a complete application with payment to when you receive your passport.

Side note: It looks like (from the same source) that it’s not strictly the fact that you were born in Colombia that forces you to do this, it’s the fact that you (apparently) still have Colombian citizenship. So apparently, if you wanted to travel on your Canadian passport, you would have to renounce your Colombian citizenship. It’s probably better to just get the passport and remain a dual citizen.
