Peru Suspends Blocking of Unregistered Mobile Devices

Published /Peru

Official Announcement

On July 14th, the Ministry of the Interior of Peru, in collaboration with the National Citizen Security System and the Supervisory Body for Private Investment in Telecommunications (OSIPTEL), issued an official announcement. This directive temporarily suspends the blocking of mobile devices not registered on the Whitelist until a new regulatory proposal is ratified. Additionally, a Multisector Working Group will be established to develop a comprehensive proposal aimed at strengthening the existing regulatory framework.

Responsibilities of Importers and Citizens

It is crucial to emphasize the ongoing responsibility of importers to ensure the registration of devices entering Peru. Citizens are also encouraged to purchase mobile devices exclusively from authorized vendors to guarantee that they acquire registered equipment that is free from theft.

Renteseg Initiative

Earlier this year, on April 22nd, the third phase of Renteseg was initiated, which introduced the White List to delineate equipment duly registered and authorized for operation within Peru. The necessity to enhance and adjust regulations governing the Renteseg system, particularly concerning the blocking of unregistered devices, was identified as a priority.
