How to request a certificación at the Guatemalan RENAP
The Guatemalan request is among the region's easiest: with the CUI, any RENAP office issues on the spot from the central system. Without the CUI, the complete data and the search. The mandato (the power of attorney) enables the executor for third parties.
The kit
- The CUI (13 digits) when there is one — the national key.
- Without it: full name, date, the municipality of birth, the parents.
- The mandato for third parties — Guatemalan notarial or consular.
The counter and the fees
Modest quetzales; on-the-spot issuance at the urban offices. The RENAP has expanding e-services — the executor uses what works; the counter never fails.
Frequently asked questions
Does it issue in any department?+
Yes — the central database serves the whole country. Someone born in Quetzaltenango requests in the capital without traveling.
Spanish at the counter?+
Yes; in the Mayan regions, the local languages coexist — the RENAP operates in official Spanish.
