When [the person] was born, in which municipality was [the person]'s mother living in?</span><br /><br />For the purposes of the census, the person's place of birth is understood to mean the municipality in which the mother was a permanent resident at the time of birth, even if, for reasons of medical care or for any other reason, the birth took place in a municipality other than the mother's permanent place of residence.<br /><br />If the answer is "Here, in this municipality", mark an "X" next to option 1 and go to question 10.<br /><br />If the answer is "Other municipality", mark an "X" next to option 2, write the complete name of the municipality and department and go to question 10.<br /><br />If the mother was living in another country at the time of birth, mark an "X" next to option 3 and write the complete name of the country.<br /><br />Use four digits to write the year in which the person arrived in Nicaragua and go to question 11. The name you write for the municipality should not correspond to a region, community or town. If you have questions consult the Territorial Political Divisions (DPT) guide in the appendices.<br /><br />The name you write should correspond to a country and not a state, county, department, municipality, canton, parish or district of the country where the person who emigrated is currently living. For example, if the informant responds that the person lives in Miami, write "United States".<br /></svar>
