Name you name all the in person domestic and legal procedures that requires biometric verification against the biometric chip in your cedula and no other alternative forms of ID is accepted?
Executive summary
There is no authoritative, public list in the provided reporting that declares a set of in‑person domestic or legal procedures in Colombia for which biometric verification against the chip in a cédula is the only accepted identity method and for which no alternative ID is permitted; existing sources document that the cédula’s chip enables fingerprint/biometric checks and that some processes capture biometrics, but none state an exclusivity rule barring alternative ID forms [1] [2]. The evidence allows identifying likely touchpoints where chip-based biometric checks are used (renewal/issuance, immigration checks, government identity verification and digital‑ID transactions), but not to assert that those checks are mandatory and exclusive in every in‑person procedure without alternatives.
1. What the sources actually document about the cédula’s chip and biometric matching
Colombian identity documents incorporate biometric capabilities: government matrices have used AFIS/ABIS fingerprint systems that allow agencies to verify a bearer by comparing fingerprints to the state biometric database, and modern cédulas are designed to support such biometrics-based verification [1]. Separate reporting on foreign resident cédulas (cédula de extranjería) describes in‑person biometric capture—fingerprints and a photograph—at Migración Colombia offices as part of issuance/renewal [2]. These items show capability and routine biometric capture, not a legal catalogue of single‑option, chip‑only acceptance.
2. Procedures the reporting makes plausible candidates for chip-based biometric checks
Issuance and renewal of cédulas and cédulas de extranjería are explicitly biometric processes: applicants undergo fingerprint and photo capture at Migración Colombia, which implies a biometric match to the holder’s file is part of producing or updating the chip‑enabled document [2]. Government identity verification by state entities—using AFIS/ABIS to compare fingerprints to the national database—is documented and used by agencies to confirm that the cardholder presenting a cédula is its rightful owner [1]. Beyond Colombian domestic practice, analogous systems (e‑IDs, mobile IDs, and biometric e‑passports) require facial or fingerprint liveness checks prior to transactions or border crossings, illustrating typical use cases where a chip or live biometric check is relied upon [3] [4] [5].
3. What the sources do not show—no evidence of absolute, exclusive chip‑only rules
None of the provided sources state that any specific in‑person domestic or legal procedure in Colombia will accept biometric verification from the cedula’s chip and will categorically refuse any other accepted form of ID; the reporting describes capabilities, routine biometric capture, and common use cases but not an exhaustive, legally binding list that excludes alternatives [2] [1]. International and industry sources discuss scenarios where biometrics are required for particular digital or security workflows (TSA mobile ID transactions, e‑passports, Panamanian e‑cédula), but these are examples from other jurisdictions or product descriptions and do not establish Colombian law or practice that bars alternate documents in every in‑person context [5] [3] [4].
4. Practical realities and reasonable inference — what likely happens in the absence of a definitive source
It is reasonable, based on the documented practices, to infer that the most routine, in‑person processes tightly coupled to identity proofing will prioritize or require biometric verification tied to the cédula chip—issuing and renewing the cédula itself, immigration checkpoints and Migración procedures, and certain secure government identity checks where AFIS/ABIS matching is available [2] [1]. However, the sources also make clear that biometric systems and digital IDs often coexist with traditional document checks and that jurisdictions vary about when biometrics are mandatory versus optional or supplementary, so asserting exclusivity without a Colombian statute or official operational policy would exceed what the sources provide [3] [4].
5. Bottom line for someone seeking a definitive list
The reporting documents that the Colombian cédula and state biometric systems are used for identity verification, and it documents specific biometric capture during cédula issuance/renewal and AFIS/ABIS usage by government entities [2] [1], but it does not provide a comprehensive list of in‑person domestic or legal procedures that accept only chip‑based biometric verification and reject all alternative ID forms; to obtain such a definitive, legally binding inventory would require primary legal texts, official Migración Colombia or other agency regulations, or explicit operational rules from Colombian authorities not included in the provided sources.
