Documents checklist

Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Peruvian sources:

Peruvian electronic passport (adults, abroad)

• Applications abroad are handled by the Peruvian consulates (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) – check your consulate’s passport page and book an appointment where required
• Your valid DNI in good condition
• Receipt for the consular fee – the equivalent of US$70 (charged in “soles consulares” in local currency)
• If a previous passport was lost or stolen: a sworn declaration
• Old mechanical passports can no longer be renewed – a new electronic passport is issued (valid 10 years for adults)
• In an emergency (lost or stolen passport) the consulate can issue an emergency passport for the return to Peru or to your country of residence

Sources: Government of Peru (gob.pe) – biometric passport for adults abroad, Government of Peru (gob.pe) – electronic passport at Peruvian consulates (checked October 2026).
