Notary Public (Escribano / Notario / Tabelião)
The public official who certifies signatures, copies, and translator declarations for regulatory use.
What it means
Notary roles vary: Latin-style notaries (escribanos, notarios, tabeliães) are legally trained officials with broader authority than common-law notaries. Several LATAM regulators — Ecuador, Chile, Panama for some documents — require notarial certification of translator declarations.
Why it matters for LATAM submissions
Confusing common-law notarization with Latin-style notarial certification is a frequent submission defect for U.S.-origin sponsors.
