It is worth mentioning that the literal H of article 15 of Resolution 6888 of 2021 mentions that one of the reasons for issuance was, precisely, having turned seven or 18 years of age; rule that remains in force.
(Besides: Now the passport can be requested at the SuperCade in Bogotá).
After this new regulatory framework meets all legal conditions, it will be implemented by the Foreign Ministry on a discretionary basis.
