In Peru, the act of signing one's name has quietly crossed a threshold — from ink pressed to paper to cryptographic proof embedded in data. The national identity registry, Reniec, has extended legal authentication into the digital realm, offering citizens a signature that cannot be forged, altered, or disputed. More than a million Peruvians have already made this transition, and what began as a response to pandemic necessity is settling into something more permanent: the slow dissolution of paperwork as the foundation of civic trust.
