Dominicans expatriates complained of the high costs of obtaining their cedula or identification card in Spain during a meeting at El Molino restaurant in Barcelona, where Angel Lockward was representing the Dominican government. Spokespersons for Dominicans in Europe also asked for facilities to renew their Dominican driver's licenses in Spain. Earlier this year the Spanish government agreed that Dominicans living in Spain could turn in their Dominican driver's licenses and get a Spanish driver's license as long as the license was valid and up to date. According to Diario Libre, Dominicans in Spain feel that the EUR10 fee is way too expensive for the cedula (it is free in the DR) and that of the 16,000 Dominicans registered at the Barcelona consulate, only 9,000 have paid the fee for their document.
