📋 Tender Overview
For the second consecutive year, it exceeds the annual figures of all previous administrations of the entity. The National Superintendency of Migration reported that during the year 2024, more than 817 thousand electronic passports were processed, exceeding for the second consecutive year the annual passport issuance figures reached in all previous administrations of the entity.
This figure exceeds by more than 30% the annual average of passport issuance issued between 2017 and 2022, of less than 600 thousand travel documents per year. It should be noted that, in 2023, in the first year of the current administration of the national superintendent, Armando Garcia, a historical record of 927 thousand electronic passports processed was reached.
The increase in the passport issuance figures in the last two years is due to the significant increase in trips by Peruvians abroad, which exceeded pre-pandemic levels; the recent changes in the Migration Law and the TUPA, extending the validity period to 10 years; and the low cost of the Peruvian passport, approximately 33 US dollars, the cheapest in the region.
It should be noted, however, that about 40% of users who applied for a passport in the last 5 years have not used their travel document.
System renewal
In 2024, Migraciones completed the total renewal of the electronic passport issuance system, at the software level, as well as the 222 workstations, with modern equipment and technology, to expand and optimize the service in its 30 offices nationwide, thus decentralizing attention and enabling more people to process their passport.
Users can manage the document according to the following modalities: without an appointment, for trips within the next two business days; with an appointment, for those who do not travel immediately; through a request for expedited processing for specific procedures such as scholarships or visas, among others; and through mobile enrollment for people with mobility difficulties, a service only available in Lima and Callao, for the moment.
Acquisition of more than 800 thousand booklets
To meet the growing demand for passports, Migrations adopted the necessary measures to serve users, such as the acquisition of more than 800 thousand booklets, which will arrive in the first quarter of 2025.
Likewise, the process for the acquisition of more than 2.5 million booklets was initiated, which would represent the largest purchase made in the history of the institution, and which will cover the demand for the coming years.
The expansion and optimization of the service is part of a continuous effort to improve the quality and efficiency of care, ensuring that all citizens can carry out their procedures quickly and safely, without having to resort to brokers.
