Estampado Electrónico

You may obtain a resident digital certificate or an Estampado Electrónico (EE) if you have already been granted a Residencia Temporal permit, whether you are in Chile or outside the national territory, as a holder or dependent.

In the case of dependents, they will only be able to download it once the corresponding holder has obtained and activated their EE.

You will be able to download your Estampado Electrónico from the moment you have been granted your Residencia Temporal permit, but it is important to consider the following deadlines:

• Permit granted abroad: After receiving the notification of the granting of the Residencia Temporal, you have a period of 120 working days to download your Estampado Electrónico. Once downloaded, you will have 90 calendar days to enter Chile.
• Permit granted within Chile: You have 6 months to download it. After this period, you must apply for a ratification or rectification for your permit.

The information you must enter depends on the chosen option:

If you began the process with the data of the resolution:

1. Date of birth of the applicant.
2. Nationality.
3. Date of the resolution that granted the benefit.
4. Number of the resolution.

If you began the process with an identity document:

1. Type of document with which the application was made.
2. Number of Passport, Título de Residencia or ID of the foreigner.
3. Country granting the document with which the application was made.
4. Date of birth of the applicant.

Yes, it is possible to correct the information when there is any inconsistency or error. To do this, you have two options:

1. Enter to the option “Rectificación de Residencia Temporal otorgada” on the SERMIG's Digital Procedures Portal, or
2. At the time residency is granted, you will find the option to rectify the document before download it.

With the entry into force of Law No. 21.325, Residencia Temporal permits granted after February 12, 2022, NO longer need to be registered at the Chilean Investigative Police (PDI) to proceed with the issuance of identity cards.

• If you obtained your Residencia Temporal abroad:
  Once you enter the country, the validity of the granted benefit will take effect immediately, and you will have to apply for Cédula de Identidad at the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación. If you do not schedule an appointment during the following 30 days, counted from the date of entry to the country that activated the residence, a sanction will be applied according to Art. 106 of Law 21.325 of Migración y Extranjería.
• If you obtained your Residencia Temporal in Chile:
  After your permit has been granted and the Estampado Electrónico has been downloaded, you must schedule an appointment at the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación to obtain your Cédula de Identidad. If you do not do so within 30 days after downloading the Estampado Electrónico, you will be sanctioned according to Art. 106 of Law 21.325 of Migración y Extranjería.

The Estampado Electrónico does not have an additional cost to the payment of the residence fees you made when starting the process.

This depends on the Residencia Temporal subcategory. Some residences allow you to work or study in Chile, while others have restrictions. It's essential to review the specific conditions detailed in your exemption resolution or on the information page corresponding to your subcategory.
