Extrajudicial notification via Cartório de Títulos e Documentos: como funciona a entrega e prova de recebimento

FAQ

Does a notification delivered by a Registry of Titles and Documents (RTD) clerk have public faith?

Yes. The delegated agent of the Titles and Documents Registry holds public faith (fé pública) conferred by law (Lei nº 8.935/1994, art. 1º). Certificates and statements of delivery issued by the registry enjoy a rebuttable presumption of truthfulness, constituting full proof of service and the content of the delivered document.

What happens when the recipient refuses to sign the extrajudicial notification?

Refusal to sign does not invalidate the notification. The clerk certifies on the document that the recipient was made aware of the content but refused to sign. This registry certificate holds full legal validity to prove service and place the party in default.

How does the registry deliver an extrajudicial notification?

The applicant submits the notification letter to the Titles and Documents Registry. The registrar registers the document and dispatches a clerk to the specified address or uses regulated electronic means. After attempting service, the registry issues a certificate detailing the result.

What is the legal value of the certificate issued by the Titles and Documents Registry?

The certificate possesses full evidentiary value in or out of court. It proves that the message was delivered, what its exact content was, and the specific date and time service occurred, providing legal certainty to the parties involved.
