Estampado Electrónico

What is the Estampado Electrónico (EE)?

The Estampado Electrónico is a digital document that certifies temporary resident status in Chile. It is issued by the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) as a replacement for the physical stamp in the passport and is legally valid throughout the country.

This document includes key information about the Residencia Temporal permit, such as the holder’s identification data, the residence subcategory granted, and the expiration date.

What is the deadline for downloading the 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
    • For applications submitted on or after May 14, 2022, and also for cases where the Residencia Definitiva application was rejected with the granting of a temporary permit, the EE will be automatically sent to the email address provided in the application.

    • The EE will be sent once the respective fees have been paid, where applicable.

    • The deadline for making this payment is 180 calendar days.

General information

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.

 The information you must enter in the "Estampado Electrónico" procedure 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 (ID card) 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.
