The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that applications for land registry certificates (notas simples) must be made exclusively through the channels enabled by the land registry publicity system (Art. 222 Mortgage Law). Requests via private applications, emails, or alternative systems intended to bypass the professional association platform or the Localised Registry of Registered Ownership (FLOTI) will not be accepted. The objective is to ensure legal certainty, data protection, and procedural traceability (Legal Grounds 4).
For lawyers and individuals, this resolution prevents the use of alternative electronic methods (such as document registration via the CORPME electronic office) to request specific land registry publicity that does not fall under the standard web procedure (Legal Grounds 4). Applicants must adhere to the regulated channels to avoid the rejection of their certificate. Should there be disagreement with this resolution, a claim may be filed before the Civil Court within two months (Arts. 325 and 328 Mortgage Law).
