Competition Minutes
As Notaries in Competition Minutes and specialists in all types of notarial services, we want to explain what draw minutes are, how they are carried out and their legal implications.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need to formalise a competition or draw minute in Barcelona before a Notary, as we are experts who can provide advice on this matter. You must attend our notary office in Barcelona in person.
What is a contest record?
The competition record, also known as the record of deposit of the competition rules, is a notarial document used to guarantee the reliability of public competitions and draws. When a company wishes to hold one, whether it be a competition, draw, or offer, the competition rules must be deposited with a Notary.
To demonstrate the transparency of the competition, the rules can be consulted online in the ABACO system. This is the Notarial Archive of Competition Rules and is provided by the General Council of Notaries. Those interested can freely and freely consult the content of the competition or draw whose rules have been deposited with a Notary. In this way, they can decide whether or not to participate.
Who processes competition certificates?
Competition records are usually processed by large companies that carry out marketing campaigns to attract clients or as rewards among them. Nowadays, it is common to find them on social networks by influencers.
What information appears in insolvency records?
They include the company carrying out the promotion, the conditions under which it is carried out, the scope and duration, the mechanics of the promotion, the prizes and how the winners will be designated.
Also, and in order to comply with the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is established who is responsible for the personal data of those who are going to participate and how this data will be stored.
Finally, the address of the Notary and the Notary before whom they are deposited appear in the record.
What is the role of the Notary for a Bankruptcy Deed?
The role of the Notary for a competition record is fundamental to ensure the reliability and seriousness of the process, as they act as an impartial intermediary attesting to the facts and guaranteeing that they occur in a transparent and legal manner.
Among the most relevant aspects is that they endorse that the process is carried out without fraud or manipulation. Thus, by drawing up a competition record before a Notary, the participants obtain transparency and credibility that it will be a legal process. With their signature, it becomes a public instrument that endorses the reliability of the competition procedure.
Once the admission of the competition is accepted, the Notary must keep custody of the record and send it to the General Council of Notaries so that it can be consulted by the public.
What documentation is necessary for a Competition Report?
The documentation will depend on in whose name it is processed.
If the competition or raffle is processed in your own name, you only need to appear with your DNI, NIE or Passport. If it is on behalf of a third party, in addition to your identification, you must present the authentic copy of the power of attorney of representation.
In the case that you represent a Spanish company, we can obtain the commercial information from the notary's office that accredits your representation.
If it is a foreign company, the company's documentation must be translated (except English, French, Italian and Portuguese) and apostilled. In addition, you must present the certificate that accredits the registration in the company register, the NIF and your NIF or Passport as the company's representative.
Together with the identification documents, it will also be necessary to present the document with the competition rules to be deposited.
How much does a competition certificate cost?
The stipulated Notarial Fee and certain aspects such as the number of pages, the authorised and simple copies issued, diligences, and the consultation at the Commercial Registry are included in this price. Contact us to prepare your personalised and tailored quote according to your needs.

As a guideline, according to the current regulatory legislation, the usual price for the formalisation of a bankruptcy deed is between €150 and €350, including VAT.
This indicative price is calculated for a standard document and the price range mainly depends on the length of the terms of the bankruptcy.
What is the difference between a competition record and a draw record?
The difference between both lies in the fact that the draw record registers the holding and the result of the draw or raffle of a random nature according to the contest rules that were established and deposited before a Notary.
Can a report be challenged?
It is possible to challenge minutes if it is considered that the depositor has committed irregularities, there has been a lack of transparency, or legal requirements have been breached, among other aspects.
