Between 1865-1887, the notary #2 of Bogota also kept separate books for births, marriages, and deaths for the capital and contingent areas. These registers consisted of: | |||
*Monthly lists of baptisms, marriage, and deaths of various parishes | |||
*Certified copies of individual entries without order | |||

In Colombia, the registration system of births, marriages, and deaths since 1936, have been in the following ways: | |||
*Where there are public notaries in a municipality, they make the records. | |||
*Where there are no public notaries in a municipality, a statistics officer (un oficial de Estadisticas) in the mayor's office creates the records. | |||
