The National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Reniec) in Peru has implemented digital systems to facilitate identity document (DNI) procedures. 

Initially, Reniec enabled online appointment scheduling for parents and legal guardians to process DNI applications for minors, a move intended to reduce physical queues. To use this system, adults must pay processing fees through authorized digital or banking channels before validating information via the official appointment manager.

Further updates indicate that citizens can also request DNI duplicates online in cases of loss or theft. This process requires reporting the incident to the National Police of Peru and paying the necessary fees through various banking channels or digital platforms prior to selecting an agency for document collection.
