II. How to fill out the questionnaire (Document RGPH 2 Number 1).

Column (6): Age
For those who do not know their date of birth, ask the following question "How old are you?" The declared age shall be written down in lived years i.e. the number of years lived by the person. It must be reported in the designated grid.
Example: for children younger than 1 year of age (less than 12 months), write down 00. For 20 and a half years, write down 20. For 51years and 11 months, write down 51
If the person does not know his/her date of birth or age, and does not have any official document proving his/her age, the census agent must estimate the age by using the historical calendar or by comparison to other persons whose age is known.
Notes: the census agent must keep in mind that:
The age of a father must be at least 15 years higher than his first child.
The age of a mother must be at least 12 years higher than her first child.
