Legislation amendments

The Federal Law No. 143-FZ dated 26.05.2021 amended the Federal Law "On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs" and the Article 80 of the Fundamental Principles of Legislation of the Russian Federation on the Notariate.

In particular, the requirement for notarial attestation of powers of attorney while submitting documents for the state registration through the applicant's representatives (including couriers) is excluded.

According to the new rules set to come into force from August 25, 2021, the notaries who certified the authenticity of signatures on applications for state registration of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs are required to send independently the necessary information to the registration authorities in electronic form with a strengthened qualified signature.

All available data on more than 7 thousand notaries and notary chambers (including inactive) is available in the Information and Analytical system Globas.
