| In most of the municipalities of Peru, civil authorities began registering births in 1886, marriages in 1886, and deaths in 1857.<ref name="rys">Ryskamp, George. ''Finding Your Hispanic Roots.'' Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1997.</ref> Civil registration covers the entire population. Due to political situations, civil registration for some municipalities may have begun after 1886. | | ==Background== |

| ===Writing to a Municipality for Records===
| |
| Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Oficina del Registro Civil) in each municipality. You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. A civil registration district may include several towns or a small section of a large city. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see [[Peru Gazetteers]]). In addition to the town, you need to know an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred.'''''This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.'''''<br>
| |
| Write a brief request in Spanish to the proper office using this address as a guide replacing the information in parentheses:<br>
| |
| | |
| :'''Oficino del Registro Civil'''
| |
| :'''(street name, number)'''
| |
| :'''(city), (region)'''
| |
| :'''([https://postal-codes.cybo.com/peru/lima-region/ postal code])'''
| |
| :'''Peru'''<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| *[https://postal-codes.cybo.com/peru/ '''Find the Peru postal code here.''']
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Send the following when requesting information:'''
| | *[[Media:Marriage_Template.pdf|Marriage Extract Form]] |
|
| |
|
| *Money for the search fee, usually $10.00 | | *[[Media:Death_Template.pdf|Death/Burial Extract Form]] |
| *Full name and the sex of the ancestor sought
| |
| *Names of the ancestor’s parents, if known
| |
| *Approximate date and place of the event
| |
| *Your relationship to the ancestor
| |
| *Reason for the request (family history, medical, and so on)
| |
| *Request for a photocopy of the complete original record <br>
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Write your request in Spanish whenever possible. Use the translated questions and phrases in this [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/images/a/aa/LWGSpanish.pdf Spanish Letter-writing Guide] to assist you in writing your letter in Spanish. '''
| | These forms are designed to help you quickly analyze and organize your documents. They can become a personal index for your family records. |
