An amendment to the Notary Code will enable establishment of companies online, electronic registration of certified signatures and apostillation by notaries

On 22 July 2021, the Senate approved a ground-breaking amendment to the Notary Code, which allows making notarial deeds online, including the establishment of companies.

Instead of being physically present in the office, the applicant will now communicate with a notary via videoconference. The notary will identify the applicant by logging in via the “national point for identification and authentication” (for example, using an e-ID or a bank identity) or will have to find out relevant data from the “basic registers” (population register, register of persons, register of rights and obligations, and register of territorial identification, addresses and real estate – RÚIAN).

Members of the statutory bodies of legal entities may confirm their authorization in business dealings by having the officially certified signature accompanied with information about the authorisation to represent the company and about the number of members of the statutory body to represent the legal entity in order to bind the company. This will de facto replace the information from the Commercial Register, which the notary can check.
