-Mexican states are divided into municipalities. Each municipality elects a council, which is headed by a mayor. Municipalities keep the civil registration records.
-In large cities, there may be several municipal offices. Some small towns may not be their own municipality, and therefore their records will not be kept in that town. You will need to determine the correct municipality or municipio in order to locate the civil registration records.
