==Background==


==Historical Background==
<br>Civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths began in 1877.


Civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths began in 1877.
'''Registro Nacional de las Personas / National Registry of Persons (RENAP)'''


=== Law of the National Registry of Persons (Ley de la RENAP) ===
In 2006, the Law of the National Registry of Persons (RENAP) began, replacing the Civil Registry. The Civil Registry began in 1877 when civil registration was separated from the Catholic Church, making a "civil" and no longer an ecclesiastical registry. The Civil Registry codes were created and updated in 1877, 1933 and the current one in 1964.


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 Registro Nacional de las Personas (RENAP).


Due to this, the books of Births, Deaths and Marriages, are currently in charge of the National Registry of Persons.
