On the day of launch, technical difficulties with the digital services of the Property and Commercial Registries caused certain functions to collapse. Attempts to register banking and notarial documents through the system were unsuccessful. However, the College of Registrars of Spain announced that the Registration Management Systems have been reestablished, except for telematic advertising which will be available from May 20th.
The new digital era is part of a larger initiative to digitalize the Property and Commercial Registries and introduce new citizen service features. The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts emphasized the importance of this digitalization for advancing the sector and adapting to new times.
The Electronic Headquarters will provide citizen folders with all relevant information and notifications. Additionally, any documents requiring registrar signatures will now be signed electronically for increased security and reliability. This transition aims to improve citizen convenience, transparency, and interoperability. The changes brought about by Law 11/2023 modify the Mortgage Law to reflect the history of documents leaving the Registries. This shift towards digitalization will provide real-time information on property ownership and commercial company status.
