Not too hard

Do not worry or stress. That is the first thing I have to say. The Cedula is very easy to get, it is just time consuming and requires some red tape. I got it maybe a month ago, or less. I went to the office, maybe around calle 100 with cra 11 the day after I got my work visa. Other than being time consuming with some basic paper work to fill out, it is not too hard. You need to know your blood type and have to have proof of that. You need to go to a nearby bank and pay some money to the account that the officers tell you about, they will give you a sheet of paper. Otherwise, not much else you need. Just a passport and be ready to include an address of residence, I put my gfs. A few hours later and after taking a photo, they will give you a slip with a website. Check that website a week later and the ID should be ready. That is how long it took for me at least. When the site said the ID was ready, I Just went in,flashed the passport and got it and was out in 5 minutes.

It was easy, it just takes some time like most things here.
