Con fecha 1 de octubre de 2025, fue publicada la Ley N°21.772 que modifica el sistema registral y notarial en sus aspectos orgánicos y funcionales, que tiene como objetivo la modernización, transparencia y estandarización del funcionamiento de Notarías, Conservadores de Bienes Raíces y Archivos Judiciales.
As a significant change, the discretionary appointment system is eliminated and a public evaluation competition is implemented, meaning that appointments are now based on merit.
With regard to notaries, there is an obligation to implement free digital access to consult information and documents, as well as electronic means for sending, communicating, and receiving them.
In addition, each notary must publish on their website information about their staff and their remuneration, as well as the last three supervision reports prepared by the respective judicial prosecutor. They must also report their fees quarterly to the Ministry of Justice.
The fees charged by these institutions will be set by a decree of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, which must be updated at least every two years.
The supervision of the conduct of officials will be the responsibility of the Judicial Prosecutor’s Office of the respective Court of Appeals.
Notaries, archivists, and registrars shall be subject to the Consumer Rights Protection Act. SERNAC shall oversee compliance with regulations on service quality and consumer rights.
This law shall enter into force six months after its publication in the Official Gazette, i.e., on April 1, 2026.
