FAQ

What is an extrajudicial notification via RTD and what is its purpose?

An extrajudicial notification via RTD is an instrument of the Registro de Títulos e Documentos intended to give formal and unequivocal notice of a legal fact or requirement. It serves to place a debtor in default, terminate contracts, grant deadlines for fulfilling obligations, and establish full proof of communication before the Judiciary Branch.

What are the requirements and necessary documents to perform an extrajudicial notification via RTD?

To request notification, you must submit an application containing complete qualification of the notifying party and the recipient, clear text stating the purpose of the communication, and supporting documents of the asserted right. The document may be delivered physically to the registry office or submitted electronically.

How does the procedure for sending and delivering an extrajudicial notification work?

Following submission, the registry office performs a legal review of the title. Delivery is subsequently executed by a deputy registrar in person, by mail with acknowledgment of receipt (AR), or via a registered electronic channel. Delivery attempts are conducted at the specified address to ensure the effectiveness of the act.

What is the evidentiary value of the certificate of delivery or refusal issued by the registry?

The certificate issued by the Registro de Títulos e Documentos enjoys public faith and holds full evidentiary effectiveness. It proves that the recipient received the document, gained knowledge of its contents, or formally refused to sign, preventing future claims of lack of notice.
