In-person missions in Guatemala

2 min read · King Hands practical guide

The Guatemalan mission is compact: the RENAP office (any of them!), the apostille in the capital, and — for the roots — parish fonds among the richest in the Americas. The chapín executor closes the package in one to two weeks.

The typical scope

  • The certificación in a batch at the office — with the anti-migration check.
  • The MINEX apostille.
  • The roots' parish fonds — centuries, microfilmed.

The proof

The milestone standard — agile in the small country.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Guatemalan parishes hold?+

Records since the 16th century in many — baptisms, marriages, deaths of the colonial eras. Deep genealogy is possible; the archdiocesan archive gives guidance.

The Mayan highlands?+

Mountain roads and remote municipalities — the central RENAP spares the trip for the civil records; the local parishes call for the real journey.
