What are they?

Notarial deeds are public documents in which notaries, at the request of one of the parties, record and certify events and details they witness or become aware of that 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 Regulations for the Organization and Regime of the Notary.

Finally, please note that minutes of general meetings and minutes of reference in the strict sense can be requested via videoconference.
