Overview
- Migraciones made the change permanent on June 1 by replacing virtual appointments with an in‑person, order‑of‑arrival system at about 31 offices nationwide.
- The agency reported it processed more than 5,000 passports on the first day and estimates similar daily capacity across its network of Lima and regional sites.
- To start the procedure users must bring a valid DNI and proof of payment of S/120.90 with payments accepted via Banco de la Nación, Págalo.pe, Yape or POS at offices; normal hours are Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00 and Saturday 08:00–13:00.
- The rollout produced long queues and concentrated demand at some sites, notably Jockey Plaza, prompting Migraciones to urge use of nearby offices, warn against tramitadores who offer to sell places in line, and coordinate with police to protect users and data.
- Officials say they secured more than one million passport booklets to guarantee supply through 2028 and are advancing modernization projects, including technical cooperation with KOICA, to improve biometric capture and processing speed.
