Title: Lima Peru
Post by: carigreen on Saturday 12 June 10 16:48 BST (UK)

Could anyone tell me how to go about obtaining a copy birth certificate from Lima?
The birth would have been about 1940s
Many thanks

The birth will probably also have been registered in Peru.  This is the peruvian civil registration department:

Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil
