On 16 April 2026, Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) released the draft implementing regulation for Legislative Decree DL1723. The document is not yet legally binding and is open for a 15‑day public consultation period. The draft translates traceability principles from the parent statute into actionable technical specifications for telecom operators to mitigate spoofing and fraudulent communications. Upon final enactment, it will complete the full set of technical operational standards for A2P services.
Issued as subordinate secondary legislation under DL1723, the draft responds to rising volumes of scam SMS and identity‑spoofing nuisance traffic in Peru. Regulators aim to eliminate communication anonymity and enable source tracing of illicit traffic. It enshrines core statutory requirements, focusing on preventing number impersonation and tracing unlawful communications. Telecom operators are required to implement source‑validation mechanisms to detect anomalous traffic. It further refines cross‑border communication traceability procedures and defines allocation and governance rules for the reserved 500 number range for marketing‑oriented traffic.
At this stage the text remains open for stakeholder input; both enterprises and the general public may submit proposals for amendment. Legal effect will take place only after the consultation phase closes and revisions are finalised. Operators and A2P service providers will then obtain clear, implementable compliance guidance. Once in force, this draft, alongside DL1723, Ley N°32323 and OSIPTEL Resolution 000132‑2025‑CD, will constitute Peru’s complete regulatory system for A2P SMS and voice services.
