Functions and obligation to show Civil Registry documents 


In addition to the functions assigned to it by the Political Constitution and the law, the Civil Registry shall carry out the functions expressly stipulated by this Act.


Neither the director-general nor the responsible officials may refuse to show any book, file or document of the Civil Registry to any person requesting them, except for just cause. The TSE shall decide appeals concerning the conflicts that may arise owing to these requests. If several supervisors appear simultaneously, each party shall be assigned, where necessary, alternating short periods of equal duration for review.
