The Administrative Tribunal of Cundinamarca has ordered the provisional suspension of two key instruments, the Interadministrative Specific Agreement 001 of 2025 and the CI-005, which underpin the Colombian government's new model for the production, personalization, custody, and distribution of passports. This judicial decision halts the implementation of the partnership between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Printing Office.
The ruling has prompted varied reactions regarding the potential consequences of the policy shift. Critics of the suspension, including former Foreign Minister Rosa Villavicencio, have characterized the move as politically motivated. Conversely, the legal counsel behind the challenge to the agreement has warned that the current arrangement could lead to the financial insolvency of the National Printing Office.
