Overview
- OSIPTEL put Resolution No. 000116-2025-CD/OSIPTEL into force with immediate effect to harden identity verification and data integrity in mobile subscriptions.
- Subscribers with more than 10 lines must revalidate within five business days or be suspended, with termination after three months without regularization, and lines with inconsistent identity records face a summary process that ends in cancellation if not corrected within days.
- New controls restrict individuals to one new line per operator every 30 days, require in-person biometric enrollment for foreign nationals against the Migraciones database, and order deactivation of prepaid lines that show no traffic within three days of activation.
- The Interior Ministry’s Decree Supreme No. 018-2025-IN creates a coordinated mechanism to cut service or block IMEIs tied to crimes, from designating responsible officials within two business days to operator execution one day after OSIPTEL’s order.
- OSIPTEL has requested carriers suspend more than 3,700 lines linked to criminal activity, while justice entities must offer objection channels and the PNP will verify police reports through a formal link with the regulator.
