Overview
- Migraciones, which launched the no-appointment system on June 1, reported it issued 88,793 electronic passports nationwide in the first month of operation.
- The change removes virtual booking and lets users attend passport offices by order of arrival, with service limited by each office's capacity.
- Breña and the Jockey Plaza pilot sites now accept on-site payments using the Yape wallet and POS terminals for the S/120.90 fee to simplify the payment step.
- Interior Minister José Zapata Morante inspected Jockey Plaza and Breña to verify orientation, biometric enrollment and document delivery during the rollout.
- Officials say the reform seeks to cut long waits and curb informal intermediaries that profited from appointment scarcity while maintaining international biometric security standards.
