The website minutes are a type of notarial deed that provides legal certainty by being able to verify the status of a website, leaving a record in the notarial protocol.

If you need a document to safeguard your website or verify the status of a website, at our Notaries' office in Barcelona we are prepared to offer a professional service, ensuring the maximum protection of your digital projects and businesses.
Currently, we can process deeds that certify the existence or content of a website, if you come to sign in person at our modern facilities at JLA Notarios – Notaría Barcelona.
What is a Website Minutes?
As we were saying, a website certificate is a legal document that serves to certify that a website or digital content exists, as well as to record in the notarial protocol the state of a website at a given moment. This type of certificate is drawn up before a Notary with the aim of providing official and reliable evidence that confirms the existence of this content on a specific date. Consequently, it will be important to protect copyright, resolve disputes, or guarantee the validity of digital information.
What is a notarial deed of a website for?
This certificate can serve various purposes, such as:
- Protecting copyright when it certifies that an idea, content or online design was published on a specific date.
- Proving the illicit use of our image or data and resolving legal disputes
- Demonstrating the existence of a website at a given time, for example, in cases of plagiarism, fraud, or trademark infringements. In disputes about the originality of website content, and therefore its creation date, the certificate serves as proof that it existed previously.
- Certifying certain advertising or facts on a website that may be misleading advertising or harmful to consumers and users, with the aim of pre-establishing evidence.
- Ensuring compliance with agreements or contracts based on digital content or a specific website.
- Providing legal certainty, validating a website in the face of possible litigation or conflicts.
Who needs the web notarial deed?
The notarial deed of website is especially useful for creators of original content, web designers or developers (of applications, platforms, code or software) who wish to avoid plagiarism or usurpation of ideas and demonstrate their authorship, but also for companies and digital entrepreneurs.
Likewise, for those who own web domains, especially registered trademarks or trade names on the web, and who need to certify the date of acquisition or the use of the brand name.
It is also recommended for researchers who involve the use of digital resources or online databases.
Furthermore, in traditional commerce or e-commerce sectors, its use is common to prove that established rules in commercial contracts are being violated.
How to make a web notarial deed in Barcelona?
To carry out a notarial deed of a website you only need to book an appointment on our Notaries in Barcelona website. Bring the necessary documentation that we provide below and our notary office will manage the process efficiently.

- Identification document of the person who is going to sign the record and, where applicable, of the company they represent.
- Identification of the website.
The role of the Notary for the web act in Barcelona
The Notary for web minutes plays an indispensable role in this notarial document, as they record the existence and the exact content (total or partial) of a website at a specific moment.
In the notarial minutes of websites, a digital evidence is processed. In it, the Notary specifies the time at which they start browsing, the browser used, and the device that will be used. They will then record the URL of the website in the minutes. This aspect is important because if it is social media content, the URL of the publication must be added and not that of the profile. The same would apply to a category or entry of a website.
Subsequently, they will take screenshots that demonstrate the content and incorporate them into the minutes.
In cases of audiovisual content such as music or video, a copy of the content can be made and deposited along with the minutes.
To conclude this procedure, the end of the browsing will be indicated and the process will be certified.
What is the price of a website report?
The cost of this service is stipulated by the Notarial Fee Schedule. The price of this web certification record, which reflects the content of a website, involves certain aspects such as the number of pages, the authorised and simple copies issued, and possible endorsements. Therefore, the most convenient option is to contact us for the preparation of a personalised quote.
However, as a guideline, we can inform you that, according to the current regulatory framework, the price for formalising a website record in the private sphere depends on the number of documents to be incorporated into the record and their length.
If you tell us what information you need to include in the record, we can provide you with an exact and no-obligation quote, tailored to your specific case.
