According to the registers, the majority of the cancellations, 76,450, have come about through the deaths of citizens, followed by another 5904 who provided irregular information.

Some 2335 cédulas were invalidated because of identity theft; 1368 because of false information and 620 because the persons tried to obtain more than one cédula.
