It maintains DIVIPOLA, the official coding of departments, municipalities, non-municipalized areas and populated centers, and produces the vital statistics on births and deaths. A clinic's health staff complete the birth and death certificates in RUAF-ND that DANE processes into vital statistics, and DIVIPOLA gives the clinic the official municipality codes. - In 2025, Colombia recorded 441,537 births (2.7% fewer than in 2024) and 284,254 non-fetal deaths (3.1% more), according to final figures.
