Peru Launches Digital Account Registration for 2026 Public School Enrollment Starting Jan. 19

The preparatory account verifies parent and student data, readying applications for the vacancy-assignment stage.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Education has enabled creation of a digital user account from January 19 to 28, with registration available on cellphones through regional portals such as matriculalima.drelm.gob.pe.
  • Creating the account does not enroll the student; it prepares verified information so parents can later request a seat when vacancies open.
  • The digital process applies only to first-time entrants and students transferring between public schools, not those continuing at the same institution.
  • This initial rollout covers 20 local education units in six regions, including Lima Metropolitana, Callao, Lima Provincias, Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna.
  • Vacancy requests must be submitted through the official portal at https://matriculadigital.pe/, and the service is free with no payments required.
