A minor’s DNI (National Identity Document) contains essential information for their identification and for carrying out various procedures throughout their life. Therefore, any data that presents an error or needs to be updated can generate doubts among parents or guardians. With the advancement of digital services, more and more procedures can be initiated or managed online. This has led many families to wonder if modifications related to the identity document can also be done virtually. The situation may vary depending on the type of information to be corrected and the conditions established for each procedure. Furthermore, it is important to know what options the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Reniec) currently offers. Before going to an office or starting a procedure, it is advisable to review the requirements and available alternatives. In the following lines, we explain what Reniec establishes and how this type of request can be managed.

What are the requirements for renewing the DNI of minors?
Among the requirements for renewing a minor’s DNI in Peru is the payment of S/16.00 for the procedure. Go to a Reniec office with one of the parents, provide the minor’s photograph, and present the father’s or mother’s DNI.
Note, for the DNI procedure for minors up to before 7 years of age, parents must bring a printed photograph of the child to the Reniec office. From 7 years of age, the photo is taken free of charge at Reniec offices.
If parents must bring a printed photograph, it must be passport size, in color, with a white background, non-porous, without a frame, without glasses, facing forward, without retouching, without smiling, without head coverings, and with the face and ears uncovered.
