Peru’s Reniec Launches 5-Minute Online Certified Copies of Birth, Marriage and Death Records

The rollout taps a database of 28 million digitized acts with a S/10.30 online payment to deliver QR-validated PDFs for use inside Peru.

Overview

  • More than 28 million records from 185 registral offices are now searchable on reniec.gob.pe for certified copies.
  • Users first verify the record online, then pay S/10.30 via Págalo.pe or Banco de la Nación using code 02141 to download a QR-validated PDF.
  • Adults with a valid DNI may request acts, only parents can obtain birth certificates for minors, and death certificates are paid with the requester’s DNI.
  • Web-issued copies carry legal validity for national procedures, while documents for use abroad must be requested at Reniec agencies or authorized agents for Foreign Ministry processing.
  • If a record is not found online, the request must be made at the registering municipality or, for consular registrations, through the Foreign Ministry; an in-person Reniec option remains available for immediate delivery at S/12 (code 06637).
