Argentina (AR) — civil law.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale of land for unpaid tax, and no redemption window after a subasta judicial in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.

Colegio Notarial de la Provincia de Mendoza

In Mendoza the body is called Colegio Notarial. It is governed by Ley 3058, the Ley Orgánica del Notariado, sanctioned 13 October 1964 and published in the Boletín Oficial on 22 October 1964 (texto actualizado as published on argentina.gob.ar and reproduced by the colegio, PDF). Art. 90: “funcionará con capacidad plena de persona jurídica y sede en la Capital de la Provincia, el Colegio Notarial de la Provincia de Mendoza”, composed of all the province’s notaries; art. 91 decentralises it into as many notarial circunscripciones as judicial ones, with an Asamblea, a Consejo Superior del Notariado and Consejos Notariales de Circunscripción. Aspirants enrol with the Consejo Superior; once on the colegio’s matrícula they may practise. The Suprema Corte de Justicia holds superintendence over the notariat. A 2024 reform of the rules on access to notarial registries drew press criticism (needs_verification as to its final text).

The opening section is open to everyone. The procedure in detail — statutes, deadlines, who may bid, and what the record does not say — is behind a free account.

We ask for one because writing these from primary sources is slow work, and knowing who relies on it tells us which country to do next.
