Overview
- Reniec now allows adults with an expired blue DNI or one due to expire within 60 days before their birthday to switch to the DNI electrónico 3.0 online.
- Applicants pay the fee using code 021221 via Yape, Agente BCP, Pagalo.pe or Banco de la Nación, verify identity with the DNI Biofacial app, submit the request at reniec.gob.pe and pick up the DNIe at the selected agency after online tracking reaches 100%.
- The promotional fee runs through December 31, 2025 at S/30 for adults and S/16 for minors, though DNI procedures for minors must be completed in person at an agency.
- Municipalities are running limited free DNIe campaigns on November 20–21 for children, older adults and people with disabilities, including Puente Piedra (about 50 slots), San Juan de Lurigancho (40 slots) and Los Olivos (40 slots), with additional drives in districts such as Pichanaqui, Atavillos Altos and Aparicio Pomares.
- Authorities cite more than 1.9 million expired DNIs and roughly 400,000 nearing expiration; blue DNIs stopped being issued in late August as Peru standardizes on DNIe 3.0, which adds stronger cryptographic security and supports digital authentication and electronic signatures.
