Carné renewal

What is Carné de Extranjería?

It is the foreigner identity card in Peru, similar to a passport for residents. If you work for a Peruvian company under an employment contract, you usually hold Trabajador Residente status with a card that contains your name and photo.

Why do I need to renew every year?

The card validity is 1 year. After expiration, you lose the right to stay and work legally in Peru. Renewal is submitted through Migraciones no earlier than 1 month before expiry.

For renewal, you need to collect a document package, verify Essalud contributions, confirm your employment contract, and submit everything online via Migraciones. We can handle this fully or partially for you.
