Central Law informs you of the following regulatory changes under Directive DPJ-002-2025:
Incorporation of Companies
All public deeds of incorporation of companies submitted as of June 4, 2025, must include an email address as a valid means of notification.
Companies Currently Registered with the National Registry
Currently registered companies have a period of one year (until June 4, 2026) to comply with the obligation to include an email address as a valid means of notification.
The inclusion of the email address as a valid means of notification must be done through a public deed granted by the legal representative or general attorney-in-fact.
This can be done through an apostilled power of attorney in order to hold a shareholders’ meeting and have it formalized by a notary public, or alternatively, the legal representative or general attorney-in-fact may sign a public deed directly.
If this is the only procedure the company needs to carry out, no stamps or government fees are required.
