Please find attached a copy of the section of the 1967 Constitution of Bolivia which governs acquisition and loss of Bolivian nationality. According to a consular officer at the Embassy of Bolivia in Washington, D.C., there is no other legislation governing acquisition and loss of Bolivian nationality (4 Jan. 1994).
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
