Guatemalan Consul to visit LV
Friday, Feb. 25, 2005 | 9:42 a.m.
The Guatemalan Consul will be visiting from Los Angeles from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Rafael Rivera Community Center, 2900 E. Stewart Ave.
Services offered include help with documents such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates and consular identification cards.
Mexico became the first country to promote consular identification cards locally when a permanent consulate from that country opened in 2002. The card is accepted by banks and law enforcement authorities as a means of identification, a practice that some have criticized as offering rights to undocumented immigrants.
There an estimated 12,000 people of Guatemalan descent in the Las Vegas Valley, according to Israel Fuentes, a community leader.
