The notaries shall send a monthly index of their notarial activities to the Notarial Inspection Office of Puerto Rico no later than the tenth calendar day of the month following the month reported stating, with respect to the master deeds and affidavits authorized by them during the preceding month, the numerical order of the same, the name of the appearing parties, the date, the subject of the instrument or testimony, the amount of each instrument and the name of the witnesses, if any appeared.
In said report, the notary shall certify to having sent the returns required to be remitted to the Department of the Treasury and the Municipal Revenue Collection Center pursuant to § 2022 of this title.
If the notary has not had any notarial activity during a particular month, he/she shall send a negative report for that month to the Notarial Inspection Office. Provided, That the fact that the notary has ceased to practice notarial law shall not be a valid excuse for failure to comply with the filing of the monthly index of notarial activity. The above shall not apply if the notary has presented his/her resignation to the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, through the Notarial Inspection Office, and his/her notarial work has been inspected, approved and deposited in the corresponding notarial archive and the notary has surrendered his/her notarial seal.
The monthly index of notarial activity must contain the notary’s number, the mailing and physical address and telephone of the notarial office, and his/her email address. When the notary is a public servant, it shall also contain the name and address of the public agency where he/she works. The presentation of the referred reports to the Notarial Inspection Office shall be carried out as provided by the Supreme Court through regulations.
