Migraciones, the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones (National Migration Superintendence), is the authority in Peru in charge of the immigration control of Peruvian nationals and foreigners.

Attached to the Ministry of the Interior, Migraciones issues travel documents (passports) to Peruvian nationals and oversees the migration movement of nationals and foreigners in order to ensure the country's internal security.
