Interviewer instructions
3.7 Place of birth
With this question the federal entity or country of birth is to be known, as well as the number of people who live in a place different then the place of birth at the moment of the interview.
Place of birth is understood to be the federal entity or country where a person was born.

In the same manner if an informant gives as an answer "here" to refer to place where the interview is carried out, circle code 1.
When an informant has some doubt about the place of birth of the person, write down the entity that the informant recognizes as place of birth, not considering the time spent there.
If after having investigated, some doubts persist, write down "does not know" in the corresponding line.
In cases in which they declare the name of a municipality (delegation) or a locality instead of the name of the entity of birth, ask for the state to which [p. 91] this municipality (delegation) or locality belongs and write it down in the space meant for it; if the state is not identified write down the name of the declared municipality or locality.
