A cedula is the official Ecuadorian identification card. Native residents have them, and expats can get one once they become residents. It is a good option to avoid carrying your passport around.
Not many expats like to obtain a cedula due to how long the process can take. Before, cedulas for expats were only issued at the 3 biggest cities in Ecuador: Guayaquil, Quito and Cuenca. Now, cedulas can also be obtained at the Civil Registry in the City of Manta.
