PODERES NOTARIALES

INTRODUCCIÓN

De conformidad con el artículo 5, inciso f, de la Convención de Viena sobre Relaciones Consulares (CVRC), dentro de las funciones consulares se comprende la de actuar en calidad de Notario. La Ley Orgánica de la Administración Pública Federal, en su artículo 28, señala que por conducto de los Agentes del Servicio Exterior Mexicano, se ejercerán funciones notariales. La Ley del Servicio Exterior Mexicano (LSEM) contempla en su artículo 44, fracción IV, que corresponde a los jefes de representaciones consulares ejercer funciones notariales en los actos y contratos celebrados en el extranjero que deban ser ejecutados en territorio mexicano, en los términos señalados en su Reglamento. Su fe pública, será equivalente en toda la República a la que tienen los actos de los Notarios en el Distrito Federal.

La función notarial es de carácter limitado por disposición del artículo 44, fracción IV de la LSEM; por consiguiente, no se desempeñan todas las funciones que efectúa un Notario Público en territorio nacional. El artículo 85 del reglamento de dicha ley señala expresamente que cuenta con la facultad para expedir poderes notariales. En este sentido, la función notarial consular está condicionada a la autorización de actos jurídicos que vayan a ser ejecutados o a tener efectos dentro del territorio nacional; los documentos notariales expedidos por los cónsules mexicanos, surten efectos inmediatos, sin necesidad de legalización o protocolización alguna.


Los actos destinados a surtir efectos en el Estado receptor o en un tercer país deben ser autorizados ante Notario Público de la localidad.

TIPOS DE PODERES

+ - PODER GENERAL Y/O ESPECIAL Click to collapse

I. PODER GENERAL

a) Pleitos y Cobranzas
b) Administración
c) Actos de Dominio

II. PODER ESPECIAL

El poder general vale para una serie indefinida de actos jurídicos y no se agota con su uso, por lo tanto el mandatario puede realizar múltiples gestiones en representación del mandante hasta en tanto no sea revocado el poder o fallezca una de las partes. Este poder puede, sin embargo, ser limitado en sus alcances en cuanto a las facultades conferidas: por ejemplo, un Poder General para actos de administración y de dominio, pero limitado a una propiedad.

El poder puede servir para representar en juicios y efectuar cobros, entonces se le denomina poder general para pleitos y cobranzas.

Si se otorga para que el apoderado administre bienes e intereses del mandante se le llama poder general para actos de administración.

Si el poder se otorga para que se compren, se hipotequen, se donen o se vendan bienes del otorgante, se llama poder general para actos de dominio.

Si el poder general otorgado comprende los tres tipos de actos, se le llama PODER GENERAL AMPLÍSIMO.

Es común que los solicitantes soliciten al titular de la representación consular en funciones de Notario Público que se otorgue "un poder general amplísimo sin ninguna clase de limitaciones"; sin embargo, el poder así otorgado, confiere facultades al apoderado sobre la totalidad del patrimonio del poderdante y puede ocasionar que el mandatario se exceda en funciones, actuando mas allá de su encargo en perjuicio de quien otorgó el poder.

Por lo anterior, se recomienda que los poderes se otorguen generales en cuanto a sus facultades, pero con algún tipo de limitación en cuanto a su ejercicio, es decir se refieren única y exclusivamente a un acto jurídico perfectamente determinado, o bien, exclusivamente sobre un bien determinado o que se otorguen bajo la modalidad de poderes especiales. Con lo anterior, tanto el mandante como el mandatario están obligados a efectuar únicamente aquellos actos a los que expresamente se obligaron; de esta forma se le confiere certeza jurídica al poderdante de que no se comprometerá su patrimonio por encima de su voluntad, o bien de la necesidad que lo obligó a conferir el poder.

El poder especial, lo otorga el mandante para ser representado en lo que autoriza de manera expresa en el mandato, pudiendo el mandatario realizar diversas gestiones que estén relacionadas directamente con el objeto del mandato, gestiones que se podrán enunciar en cláusulas. Este mandato se extingue automáticamente con la conclusión de lo encomendado.

El poder especial, por su mismo carácter, no tiene ningún nombre previo y tiene como ventaja sobre el general, el que proporciona mayor seguridad al mandante, puesto que el mandatario no puede intervenir en otros asuntos que no sean los específicamente determinados.

Para que los interesados tengan una mayor certeza jurídica, el titular de la representación consular en funciones de Notario Público puede recomendar esta clase de mandato. Pero hay que tener en cuenta siempre la voluntad de los interesados.

Como ejemplo de las limitaciones anteriores, señalando de antemano que se debe procurar ser lo más específico posible, se pueden citar las siguientes:

a) En cuanto a un negocio determinado.
b) En cuanto a ciertos bienes (específicamente aquellos que se refieren a vender o donar inmuebles).
c) Limitados en cuanto al tiempo.

En los Poderes Generales que incluyan actos de administración y/o de dominio y aquellos especiales que se refieren a administración y/o a disposición de bienes, cuando sean otorgados por una persona casada bajo el régimen de sociedad conyugal deberá comparecer el otro cónyuge. En el caso de que esto no fuera posible, se deberá advertir mediante un punto adicional en el apartado de las certificaciones que el poder no podrá ser ejercido, en tanto no se dé la autorización del otro cónyuge. Si se encuentra casado por el régimen de separación de bienes, no será necesaria la presencia del cónyuge.

De conformidad con el artículo 425 del CCDF los que ejercen la patria potestad son legítimos representantes de los que están bajo de ella y tienen la administración legal de los bienes que les pertenecen. Los que ejercen la patria potestad no pueden enajenar ni gravar de ningún modo los bienes inmuebles, y muebles preciosos que correspondan al hijo, sino por causa de absoluta necesidad o de evidente beneficio y previa la autorización del Juez competente, según lo dispone el artículo 436 del CCDF.

Public Notice of Entry into Force of the Apostille Convention in Pakistan

 

Please be informed that the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan acceded to the Apostille Convention, which entered into force for that country on March 9, 2023, replacing the process of legalization of public documents issued in Pakistan for use in Mexico. During a transition period, the Embassy of Mexico in Iran, concurrent to Pakistan, continued to issue legalizations, taking into account the needs and requests of the public.

However, as of January 11, 2024, the Embassy of Mexico in Iran will stop issuing legalizations of public documents issued in Pakistan. This is due to the accession of the Government of Pakistan to the Apostille Convention, which aims to replace the legalization of public documents.

As of the aforementioned date, in order for public documents from Pakistan to be legally recognized in Mexico, these must be apostilled by the Ministry of Interior in Islamabad or by regional authorities in Pakistan, without the need for legalization at the Mexican Embassy.

Mexican authorities have already begun apostilling Mexican documents for use in Pakistan, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition. The implementation of Apostille in Pakistan will simplify and expedite the international validation of documents, reducing costs and time involved.

The Embassy of Mexico appreciates your understanding during this process of change and reiterates its commitment to facilitate efficient consular services.

 Legalization

 

Legalization is a process by which a foreign public document is certified as valid in the receiving country. In this process, the consular offices of the receiving country verify that the signature or seal of the document matches the one they have on file.

To obtain the embassy appointment to legalize documents, the following steps must be taken:

  1. Send a copy of the document to be legalized, scanned in high quality, showing the corresponding Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization to the following email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
  2. The Embassy will inform you if you can proceed with the legalization or if a verification by the corresponding Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required. In the latter case, the process may take up to 8 weeks.
  3. When the Embassy confirms that the legalization can proceed:
    1. Applicants in Iran: an appointment will be given to present the original document and a photocopy at the Embassy by yourself.
    2. Applicants outside Iran: it will be necessary for you to arrange for the delivery of the original document and a photocopy to the Embassy by a representative who will come to deliver them and pay the corresponding consular fee in accordance with the Federal Law on Fees (article 22, section III, clause a).
  4. The Embassy will inform you when the legalization process has been completed so that you can arrange for the collection of the document.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • The document must bear the legalization/certification stamp - not older than six months - of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where it was issued.
  • The consular fee for each legalization is USD $54  to be charged in cash. Consult the fee schedule on our website https://embamex.sre.gob.mx/iran/index.php/en/2016-05-27-11-35-32/fees .
