Peru Completes Switch to DNIe 3.0 as RENIEC Speeds Delivery and Runs Free-ID Drives

The upgrade enables secure digital signatures that unlock online services across government platforms.

Overview

  • San Martín de Porres holds a free DNIe day on September 29 for minors under 17 at the DEMUNA office from 9:00 to 12:00 with limited on‑site slots.
  • RENIEC has ended issuance of blue and yellow DNIs and now provides only the DNIe 3.0, which it says cannot be falsified and includes 64 security elements.
  • A network of 31 printing centers is shortening wait times, with many duplicates ready the same day and updates typically delivered in two to three days.
  • An Atención Especial channel serves urgent travel, hospital or domiciliary cases that present supporting documents, coordinated through the San Borja office.
  • Digital services include an online tracker for DNI production and pickup, certified civil‑record copies for S/10.30 when digitized, and the DNI BioFacial app to update the photo or renew.
