Will, I suggest that you take your wife´s old cedula along with her Nicaraguan birth certificate and go to Multi Centro Las Americas and request a new one in the Consejo Supremo Electoral office in the third floor. She should have no problem getting a new one. Nicaraguan citizens, never loose their citizenship, even if they take on a new one, once they arrive in Nicaragua

My wife is a Nicaraguan who came to the US close to 20 years ago. She became a US Citizen and has made yearly trips back on her US passport for the last 5 years. Last year she decided to renew her Cedula which expired in 2000. There were no problems, and no questions asked about the lengthy expired status.

That being said, we have a bit of a problem with the dates. My wife tells me that the Sandanistas started issuing Cedulas in 1979. If this is what your wife has she should have no problems and the process is the same as any other citizen.

You can also get a new Cedula but you have to show a birth certificate.

Final point, you need to give the Cedula office a Nicaraguan address (family, friend, ?).
