📋 Tender Overview
Within the framework of International Human Rights Day, the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) reports that, in the last 11 years, a total of 1,158,083 Peruvians were documented with their first DNI. This, through itinerant campaigns in vulnerable areas and the attention of social cases to people in situations of abandonment, medical emergencies or citizens in shelters, homes, among others.
Since 2012, the registry, through the Directorate for Identity Restitution and Social Support (DRIAS), has documented 1,009,106 people (87%) between the ages of 0 and 17; 134,677 Peruvians (12%) were in the 18-59 age group; while the remaining 14,300 documentations (1%) were carried out on older adults.
Also, in 2012, the number of undocumented people who received a DNI was 218,807, while in 2023 the figure reached 52,590. This means that the gap of undocumented immigrants fell by 76% thanks to RENIEC's interventions.
In terms of the origin of the cases attended, Loreto leads the statistics with 206,357 documentations, followed by Lima (167,741), Junín (83,037), Piura (83,037) and Ucayali (71,729).
"Identity is an intrinsic right of all people. Having a name, a nationality and an ID card that authenticates it, not only gives it legal validity in society, but also the possibility of developing in different aspects of its life," said the national head of RENIEC, Carmen Velarde Koechlin.
Identity is a right that every person needs to legally corroborate their existence. For this reason, the registry has been working tirelessly to close the gaps of undocumented documentation throughout Peru.
