What is it about?
Notarial acts are public documents where notaries, at the request of one of the parties, record and certify the events and details they witness or know, which are not related to contracts.
These are regulated under Section 4 of Chapter II of Title IV of the Decree of June 2, 1944, which approves the Regulation of the organization and regime of the Notary.
Lastly, it’s important to note that general meeting minutes and strict reference minutes can be requested via videoconference.
