Description

What is it?

The DNI renewal service in Peru allows citizens to renew their Documento Nacional de Identidad (DNI), the official national identification card. This process ensures the ID remains valid for use in various official transactions and as a means of identification. The renewal can be done either online or in person, simplifying the procedure for the citizens.

Who needs it?

This service is ideal for Peruvian citizens whose DNI is nearing expiration or has already expired.
