Peru Ends Passport Appointment Requirement for Citizens 70 and Older

The change takes effect now for people 70 or older, expanding to 65+ in 2027, then 60+ in 2028.

Overview

  • The Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones formalized the policy in Resolution No. 000150-2025-MIGRACIONES, published in the official gazette El Peruano.
  • Eligible seniors may go directly to Migraciones offices to obtain an ordinary electronic passport without scheduling a virtual or in-person appointment.
  • The exception is incorporated into the agency’s TUPA, with Article 2 updating the passport procedure to reflect the no-appointment rule for those 70 and older.
  • Officials say the reform is intended to streamline processes, reduce administrative burdens, and improve service quality for older adults.
  • Operational changes include revised hours at the Breña headquarters’ Mesa de Partes to Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., for specified information-access and identity services.
