What Are You Renewing?

The Carné de Extranjería is the identity document issued to foreign residents in Peru. Renewing the physical card is different from extending or maintaining your migratory status.

Card vs. Residency

  • Carné de Extranjería renewal: renew the physical identity card when its validity period expires. The current regulation provides a four-year validity period for the card.
  • Residency maintenance or extension: depends on your migratory category. Some resident categories require a separate prórroga, while permanent and rentista status are not renewed in the same way.

Do You Need to Renew Your Card, Your Residence, or Both?

These are different procedures. We review your Migraciones status first so you know exactly which renewal applies to you.
