Peru Makes Military Registration Mandatory at 17, Sets S/275 Fine for Noncompliance

The measure modernizes recruitment, granting the Executive flexibility to extend reserve training for security reasons.

Inscripción militar obligatoria 2026: el Estado multará con este monto a jóvenes que no se registren en Ejército, FAP y Marina
Registro Militar obligatorio: peruanos de 17 años multados con S/275 de no inscribirse, según El Peruano
Servicio Militar: jóvenes de 17 años deberán inscribirse o serán considerados omisos por ley. Composición: Diario Correo.
Peruanos que cumplan 18 años y no se inscriban en el Registro Militar serán multados con S/275: Gobierno oficializó los cambios, vía El Peruano

Overview

  • By Supreme Decree No. 018-2025-DE published in El Peruano, the Government updated the Service Military Regulation to align with Law No. 31488, taking effect on January 1, 2026.
  • Peruvians must register in the Registro Militar upon turning 17 and before turning 18, with those who miss the window classified as “omisos.”
  • Individuals labeled omisos must pay a penalty equal to 5% of the UIT (about S/275) at Banco de la Nación, which is waived if they complete the Servicio Militar Acuartelado within the legal timeframe.
  • Registration is free and, for now, processed in person at Army, Navy or Air Force registration offices in Peru or at consulates abroad, with only a DNI required.
  • The reform provides non-certifying orientation training for licenciados via Defense and the Transport Ministry, and allows the Executive to extend reserve instruction by Supreme Decree for national security.
