Reniec Details Civil-Status Updates and Marriage Record Checks as It Launches 33 Free DNIe Centers Nationwide

Clear rules now govern payments, eligibility, pickup as services shift to the DNIe 3.0.

Overview

  • Holders of the electronic DNI can rectify marital status online when the act is in Reniec’s database, while DNI Azul and cases of divorce, widowhood or foreign marriages require in-person processing at Reniec or MAC centers.
  • Fees are S/35 for rectification on DNIe (tax code 00729) and S/30 for DNI Azul (02121), with authorized payments via Yape with ticket, agente BCP, Banco de la Nación and Pagalo.pe.
  • Delivery typically takes about 10 business days; DNIe must be collected personally with biometric and secret-key validation, whereas a blue DNI may be picked up by a representative with a simple authorization and fingerprint.
  • Citizens can check online whether a marriage act is registered and request a certified copy for S/12 if 18 or older, with QR-based validation on the document.
  • The Verano Inclusivo campaign operates 33 temporary points through January–February to issue the DNIe at no cost for priority groups, targeting roughly 50,000 procedures in the period as part of a broader 2026 goal near 600,000.
