Overview
- RENIEC now issues only the DNI electrónico 3.0, while existing blue and yellow DNIs remain valid until their printed expiry and can be used in the 2026 elections if current.
- Selected Lima offices are operating up to 12 continuous hours, from 7:45 a.m. to 7:45 p.m., including San Borja, Miraflores, Jesús María, Santa Anita, Independencia and Cercado de Lima.
- High demand has produced long waits in some regions, with Huancayo reporting queues of up to four hours as Junín chief Enrique Fortun added service windows, extended hours and logged over 500 attendances in El Tambo in a day.
- Municipal campaigns are providing free DNIe services and photos for targeted groups, with Ancón held on September 19, Rímac set for September 20, and Lince scheduled for September 29 for children and adolescents.
- RENIEC urges citizens to update their registered address by October 14 to ensure correct polling assignment, noting a possible S/16 fine under Law Nº 30338 for failing to report domicile changes.
