About this statute
This provision is the title and preamble of Law 38 of 1993, which unifies the fingerprint identification system and adopts the dental chart for identification purposes. Los consultorios odontológicos públicos y privados deben elaborar una Carta Dental desde el 1o. de enero de 1993, conforme al modelo que fije la ley. For identification purposes, fingerprint identification is unified using the system used by the National Civil Registry, based on the ten-fingerprint record. The civil registry authority must take fingerprints for identity documents in a prescribed format and keep them in the central archive; state entities must unify fingerprint records. El funcionario que realiza el levantamiento debe registrar el estado de la dentadura y ordenar al médico la necropsia y el examen/descripción de los dientes en ciertos casos de fallecimiento sin identificación.
