Article 20 of the current Civil Code establishes that the born child must have the first coname of the father and mother; a literal interpretation of the same does not indicate the order of these surnames in the name of the child; however, the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) has traditionally interpreted this article by giving preference to the paternal surname in the birth certificate. In this regard, the Constitutional Court, in their decision No. 641/2021 in file No. 02970-2019-PHC/TC, issued a crucial ruling for our country, interpreting that Article 20 of the Civil Code does not establish an order of priority in the surnames of parents; this would allow parents to choose the order of their surnames in the name of their child. However, the judgment did not take into account any disagreement between the parents when choosing the order of their surnames. Our analysis will be given under the protection of international, national legal sources such as the Civil Code, the Political Constitution of Peru, the aforementioned sentence, journalistic reports and scientific articles collected from the eLibro, SciELO and Proquest database. In this context, in view of the best interests of the child and in the absence of a mechanism for resolving a discrepancy between parents, the present work develops an objective solution for the case in which the parents fail to agree the order of their surnames in the name of the child.
