Registro Civil Take 6

or ....

Esta es Chile??!!!

The bureaucratic nightmare that began when my wallet was stolen in September and continued through a Registro Civil strike, inflexible civil servants and a visa misprint ended today. I showed the woman my passport, my PDI certificate and photocopies of everything including my lost cedula. She entered my RUT into the system, asked me for 4050 CLP, took a new picture and that was that.

Of course.

The one time I make sure to have a native Spanish speaker with me is the one time I didn't need to.

Chile, if you continue like this I am going to start having expectations.

Time at the Registro Civil: 1.5 hours.
Output: Carnet.
