Peru passport renewal in the United States
Renewing a passport without leaving the US is the single most common consular procedure for the Peru community. This guide carries fees and appointment systems verified against official sources — not generic ranges.
Verified fees
| Validity | Fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| Biometric e-passport (cash, exact) | $70 |
| Biometric e-passport (card) | $71.42 |
Peru’s consular tariff pegs 1 sol consular = US$1. Card payments carry the small processing surcharge shown above.
How appointments actually work
Each Peruvian consulate runs online booking from its consulado.pe page (Washington DC, for example, links its reservation system from consulado.pe). You appear in person for biometrics.
Documents
- Previous passport (valid or expired)
- Government photo ID
- US proof of address (utility bill or lease under 3 months old)
- Passport photos only if your consulate asks — most capture the photo and biometrics on site
- DNI (or at minimum your DNI number) — the consulate pulls your RENIEC record from it
Delivery
Consulates that print on site frequently hand over the e-passport in about one business day when documents are in order.
Your immigration status doesn’t matter here
The Peru consulate does not check your information against ICE, USCIS, or CBP — consulates operate under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963). Your right to a Peru passport flows from your nationality, not your US status.
