About this statute

This provision is the preamble/title of Law 2129 of 2021, stating that it repeals Law 54 of 1989 and sets new rules for determining the order of surnames. This provision says the law’s purpose is to establish the order of surnames in the birth civil registry. El registro civil de nacimiento debe inscribir como apellidos el primer apellido de la madre y el del padre, y si no hay acuerdo, el funcionario resuelve por sorteo. La Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil debe reglamentar el procedimiento del sorteo del artículo 2o dentro de seis meses desde la vigencia de la ley. This article says the law takes effect when it is promulgated and repeals Law 54 of 1989, Decree 2582 of 1989, and any conflicting provisions.
