Yes, unfortunately it takes longer - how much varies greatly. You can see by my timeline below that from PGN out to pickup was over a month and that was a pretty good timeframe. Some people wait as long as 2 mos. maybe even more just to get the Guatemala City birth certificate.

Lisa,

Sad but true it does take longer to get a GCBC than from other areas. I don't know for sure but you can check the PINK list to see exactly how long but I don't think there are many under 30 days.
