Overview
- Reniec has expanded its “Verano Inclusivo” campaign after the January 12 launch, adding municipal and institutional service points across regions, and early-morning lines in Arequipa highlight strong demand and limited daily quotas through January.
- The effort offers free enrollments, renewals, duplicates and data updates for the DNIe 3.0 at coordinated local sites.
- Eligibility focuses on children aged 0–16 (including newborns treated in Minsa and EsSalud), adults 60 and over, people with disabilities and residents in poverty, with FF.AA. and PNP included for the 2026 electoral process.
- A Reniec resolution authorizes issuing up to 470,000 free DNIe during 2026, a scope smaller than the more than two million citizens with expired IDs identified by the JNE.
- Reniec advises keeping the DNIe PIN confidential, reporting loss or theft to police and revoking digital certificates, and using the Ciudadano Digital platform to renew certificates or recover the PIN.
