National Registry of Identification and Civil Status
Supreme Court of the RepublicPresident Javier Arévalo Vela [es] The National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil, RENIEC) is an autonomous constitutional body of the State of Peru.Its role is to maintain the records of births, marriages, divorces and deaths in the country, as well as of the suffrage eligibility and registration.[1] While RENIEC is a recently created entity, its roots can be traced to the Viceroyalty of Peru, in which the Catholic Church kept records of all people born within the territory.With the Independence of the country, the Registry System was created, which depended on what today is the National Jury of Elections.RENIEC claims to be technologically most advanced than its counterparts in Latin America and than most in the European Union, in identification and civil status registration.
