Columns 12 and 13 should only be written in when the enumerated is not a native of the place where the enumeration is being done.

Column 13. When the enumerated is not a native of the entity in which they are enumerated, the name of the entity in which they lived immediately before living in the place of enumeration should be written in column 13. If the enumerated lived in a foreign country, the name of the foreign country should be written in column 13. In a case where the enumerated lived outside the country for a period of less than 6 months, the name of the foreign country where they lived will not be written, rather the name of the entity of the Republic [P. 19] in which they lived before their temporary stay outside of the country will be written, as long as it is not the entity in which thy are currently living.

Place of Residence
Column 4
[Drawing]
This regards finding out the amount of time that the person has been living in the federal entity (be it state, territory, or federal district), not in the municipality, delegation, city, town or villa, etc., in which the interview is being carried out.
For those people who have lived their whole lives in this federal entity, the circle in front of "always" should be marked.
For people who have lived less than one year in that federal entity or state, the circle in front of "less than one year" should be marked.
For people who have lived in this federal entity for one year or more, write, in the corresponding space, the number of years that they have lived in the federal entity.
The people who have "not" always lived in that state should be asked: "in which state of the republic or foreign country did you live before?" clearly write the name of this state or foreign country.
Some people could have changed from entity or country of residence more than one time; in that case, write the name of the most recent entity or country in which they lived before.
If a person, at some period in their lives, went to live in some other state or country (not including vacations or trips), and returned to this state, the amount of time that has passed since they returned to live in the state should be considered the time of residence; the name of the state or of the foreign country where they lived immediately before should be written.

IV Migration
In this section the changes of habitual residence of the population from one entity to another or to a country other than Mexico are registered.
[graphic of the question from the census form]
Migration is understood to be a change in habitual residence from one entity to another or from one municipality (delegation) to another (internal migration); also from one country to another (international migration).
This section contains two focuses described below:
To investigate the state and international migration (number of people who came to or left Mexico), based on the previous place of residence (questions 4.1 to 4.5).
To know the place of residence on a set date (November 1990) and therefore the migration at the municipal and state level as well as international immigration (questions 4.6 to 4.7).
4.3 Place of previous residence
With this question the entity of previous residence of the population is identified, in the case of interior migration in the country.
In the case of people who declare a country different than Mexico as place of previous residence, the country of origin should be known.
[p. 97]
[graphic of the question from the census form]
In this question is written the complete name of the state or country, in the space meant for it.
When they say that a person has lived in many federal entities or countries, write down the last one, in the corresponding space.
Also, when an informant mentions a municipality and does not know or remember the name of the entity to which it belongs, write down its name.
If an informant responds that a person has lived in Mexico or Mexico City, ask to specify if it is the Federal District or the State of Mexico, since it can be confused in some occasions.
In case an informant reports to not remember or not know the state or country previously lived in, write down "does not know" in the corresponding space.
