What is it?

The notification and request document is a public notarial document through which the notary reliably communicates to a person information, a decision or a request made by another, recording both the content of the communication and its delivery, its rejection or any other circumstance that occurs during the notification. This type of document is frequently used to demand compliance with obligations, require the cessation of a certain conduct, communicate resolutions or record communications with legal relevance.

What documentation should I provide?

• Valid official identity document.
• Identification data of the person or entity to whom the notification is directed.
• Address that allows the recipient to be located.
• Text or documentation whose content must be notified.
• If applicable, document that certifies the representation with which you act.

What procedures does the notary carry out?

Before signing. The notary will verify the identity of the requesting party, review the content of the communication, advise on the most appropriate way to carry out the notification and prepare the minutes.

After signing. The notary will carry out the notification or request in accordance with notarial legislation and will record the result of the procedure, whether it is delivery, refusal to receive it, the impossibility of carrying it out or any other relevant circumstance.

Useful information
