This article is only relevant when the country in which the employee pays their social security contributions (home country/payroll country) is Peru.
A1 certificates in Peru are issued by EsSalud or the Ministry of Labor, confirming that posted employees remain under their home country’s social security system.
Processing times may vary; officially, it should take 7–10 business days. The main challenge is that POAs executed outside Peru must be notarized and apostilled.
