The Guatemalan government has identified critical errors in its national census, potentially leaving millions of citizens uncounted. Specifically, individuals aged 18-25, despite possessing national identification documents (DPI) and being of legal age, are not officially registered as citizens due to bureaucratic issues stemming from the 1985 Constitution. Officials have identified four urgent census revisions needed to address this problem and are initiating a comprehensive review of the national statistical system. This discrepancy impacts citizens’ access to essential services and rights tied to official recognition. The government initiative aims to rectify these omissions and ensure accurate population data. The review seeks to understand the root causes of the errors and implement preventative measures for future census operations. This situation highlights systemic challenges within Guatemala’s civil registry.
