Reniec Reaffirms That Lost DNIs Are Invalid Once a Duplicate Is Issued

The agency urges people who requested a duplicate to use its online tracker to confirm printing before collection.

Overview

  • Reniec said a DNI reported lost becomes void once a duplicate is processed, even if the old card later turns up.
  • The office warned that using the void card can cause serious administrative problems and raise the risk of identity fraud.
  • People can check their case on Reniec’s website, where 100% means the new card is printed and ready at a service center.
  • The agency reports more than one million e‑DNI 3.0 cards delivered, with about 700,000 documents nationwide still awaiting pickup.
  • Chaclacayo will host a free e‑DNI drive with 50 slots that prioritizes children and seniors, with a parent present for minors and only the current ID required for older adults.
