Where do I go to register the other parent in the civil registry of the birth of our son, daughter or child?

To register the mother or father who does not appear in the civil registry of birth, you can go to any Notary or Registrar's office in the country or abroad to the Colombian Consulate. If the child has already been registered, it is not necessary to go to the same Notary or Registrar's Office where the registration was initially made. Law 1395 of 2010 established that all acts, facts and orders that must be registered in the civil registry or that affect it, may be registered in any office authorised to carry out the civil registry function in the national territory or in the Colombian consulates abroad. However, our recommendation is to go to the Registraduría, as we have observed that there are fewer difficulties in accessing the registration of both mothers or fathers. 

Note: We would be grateful if, when you go to carry out this procedure, you could let us know which authority you visited and how your experience went by emailing consultasjuridicas@colombiadiversa.org. This is so that we can understand how the Constitutional Court’s orders are being implemented.
