Digital Sunarp: entity establishes presentation of parties and notarial requests virtually

The National Superintendency of Public Registries (Sunarp) is a State agency that provides various services to citizens and guarantees legal security mechanisms necessary to exercise the right to possess property. In this sense, the entity attached to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights has been implementing a series of improvements to serve its users that are aimed at preventing documentary fraud and standardizing electronic registration presentations.

In this note, we tell you more details about the Sunarp Resolution published in the newspaper El Peruano that establishes the mandatory presentation of parties and notarial requests through the Digital Intermediation System (SID-SUNARP) as of November 2 . Pay attention!

What is Sunarp’s digital transformation about?

According to Resolution No. 169-2023-SUNARP/SN, it is established that as of November 2 of this year, the parties and notarial requests that contain acts to be registered in the legal registries in charge of the Superintendency of Registries Public (Sunarp), are mandatory to issue with a digital signature and are presented through the Digital Intermediation System (SID-SUNARP).
