Venezuela SAIME identity document updates

Overview

The Administrative Service of Identification, Migration and Foreigners (SAIME) has introduced new procedures regarding identity documentation in Venezuela.

In late September, the agency detailed a six-step process for minors to apply for their first identity cards. This procedure, which is free of charge, must be managed by a legal representative through the official SAIME web portal and involves registering personal data, birth certificate information, and an accompanying adult.

By late October, SAIME expanded its activities to include a data verification initiative. Citizens and naturalized individuals with identity card numbers between 22 and 34 million are required to undergo a process to ensure their personal information matches the agency’s technological records. Venezuelan-born citizens must present a copy of their birth certificate, while naturalized citizens must provide a copy of the Official Gazette. This verification process is also free and does not require an appointment.
