=== Law of the National Registry of Persons (Ley de la RENAP) === | |||
In 2006, Guatemala benefited from the Law of the National Registry of Persons: Law of the RENAP Regulations that created the National Registry of Persons, disappearing the institution of yesteryear called Civil Registry, which was contained in the Civil codes of 1877, 1933 and the current one since 1964. It was in 1877 with the so-called reforming government of General Justo Rufino Barrios, that the Civil Registry separated from the Catholic Church, since then being a "civil" and no longer ecclesiastical Registry. | |||
Due to this, the books of Births, Deaths and Marriages, are currently in charge of the National Registry of Persons. | |||
