[Figure omitted: image with text]

For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.

7. Birth registration
With this question, it is possible to know if the person has a birth certificate or is registered in the civil registry of the Mexican Republic or another country.

Read the question along with each option until you get an affirmative answer and circle only one code.

Some people may have a double birth registration, that is, in the Mexican Republic and another country; if this is the case, only register code 1.

If the respondent says that they do not have a birth certificate because they have lost it, have not picked it up from the civil registry, or are stored in some institution (school, hospital, or other), ask if the person is registered in the civil registry, and if the answer is affirmative, ask if the registry corresponds to the Mexican Republic or another country, and circle the corresponding code.

In case the birth has not been registered in the civil registry of the Mexican Republic or another country, circle code 3.

[Figure omitted]

It may happen that the respondent does not know if the person being asked about has a birth certificate or not, or if their birth has been registered in the civil registry. If this situation arises, ask if you have any official identity documents, since generally, a birth certificate is required to obtain them. Some of these documents are: a voting card (voter's credential), driver's license, military service card, passport or professional card, and in the case of minors under 18 years of age, the SEP school certificate.

It is important to point out that in other Spanish-speaking countries, the birth certificate is also known as a birth record.

P5 Birth registration with Local Civil Registrar (LCR)

Provisions of civil code and other laws in the country are concerned with the legal or civil rights of an individual. Civil rights could be granted only by the government and proof of one's claim to such rights is dependent on official registration, the legal purpose for which civil registration was designed. The birth of a person is one of the vital events for official registration. The recording of the occurrence of birth in the birth register is called birth registration. And the proof of such registration is the birth certificate with an LCR number.

After recording the date of birth of a person, ask the respondent "Was __________'s birth registered with the LCR?" Draw an "x" mark on the appropriate circle. When the birth of a member of the household is unknown to the respondent, verify from the member himself. If after probing the birth registration is still unknown, draw an "x" mark on the circle provided for the answer of don't know.

Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

Test 1 (KT1)
The test question is intended to identify people under 5 years old (born after March 2014) to proceed to Question 8; for people aged 5 years and older (born before April 2014), DTV proceeds to Question 9.

For people with a year of birth but no information on month of birth (month of birth in Question 4 is recorded as code "98"), DTV identifies people born after 2014 to proceed to Question 8; for people born in 2014 or earlier, proceed to Question 9.
