Make the processing fee payment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">The first step is to pay the corresponding fee. You can do this in person at any Banco de la Naci\u00f3n branch or through the\u00a0<\/span><span dir=\"auto\">pagalo.pe\u00a0online platform using a debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard).

Attend your appointment at the Immigration office<\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">The procedure is done in person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">On the day of your appointment, you must bring your ID and a copy of your payment receipt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">At this time, they will take your photo for the new passport, so it is important to follow the instructions: you cannot wear glasses, hats, or have your hair cover part of your face.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">4. Data verification and passport delivery<\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Once the process is complete, you can pick up your electronic passport the same day or, if you cannot wait, you will have 60 days to collect it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">This document contains a biometric chip that stores information such as your fingerprints and facial image.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"spanemisin-de-pasaporte-para-menores-de-edadspan\" dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Passport issuance for minors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">The broadcasting process for minors is similar to that for adults, but there are some important differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Minors must be accompanied by one of their parents or a legal guardian, who must present their ID and prove the parental relationship or legal guardianship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">The passport for minors is valid for three to five years, depending on the child&#8217;s age.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Additional steps if you are abroad<\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">If you are outside of Peru, you can renew your passport through Peruvian consulates in the country where you are located.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">The procedure is similar to the process in Peruvian territory, but appointments and deadlines may vary depending on availability at each consulate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Remember that you must present your current passport and your ID card, and pay the corresponding fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"spanimportancia-de-tener-un-pasaporte-vigentespan\" dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Importance of having a valid passport<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Most countries require that the document be valid for at least six months at the time of entry, so an expiring passport can become a problem right at the airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Furthermore, if your passport has expired, you won&#8217;t be able to board flights. With a valid passport, however, you have the freedom to travel to multiple countries around the world with the peace of mind that your document meets all the requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Traveling with a valid passport also gives you security and confidence at the time of immigration control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">Want to know which countries you can travel to without a passport?
