RENIEC Extends 12‑Hour DNI Service and Will Allow Expired IDs for June 7 Vote

RENIEC says the measures will cut barriers to voting by speeding DNI pickups through extended office hours plus a one-day identification exception for the second‑round ballot.

Overview

  • RENIEC put uninterrupted 12‑hour attention in place from June 1 to June 5 at selected agencies so citizens can collect printed DNIs and complete identity procedures ahead of the June 7 second round.
  • The agency issued Resolución Jefatural N.° 000057-2026 to allow expired or soon‑to‑expire DNIs of all physical and electronic versions to serve as valid ID only for voting on June 7.
  • RENIEC reports it is holding more than 700,000 printed DNIs ready for immediate pickup, and it urged people to check the online status until the progress indicator reads 100% before going to an office.
  • Coverage differs on scale: several outlets cite more than 40 agencies with extended hours while Peruinforma reports a temporary reorganization covering about 200 offices with priority given to high‑demand Lima sites.
  • The changes aim to reduce the risk that voters are turned away at polling stations, but the expired‑DNI allowance does not apply to other civil, administrative, or commercial procedures and users are warned to avoid unnecessary trips to offices.
