Legitimación de firma ante Notario
La legitimación de firma ante Notario en Barcelona desde nuestra notaría es un acto rápido que permite acreditar una firma para que pueda ser usada en trámites administrativos. Hoy en día es frecuente realizar este trámite por la aceleración del ritmo de vida y la delegación de tareas en terceros.
Por este motivo queremos explicar qué es legitimar una firma y también cómo interviene en documentos extranjeros, así como el trámite ante Notario para acta de legitimación de firma, teniendo en cuenta que nos centramos en las legitimaciones de documentos que van a producir efectos en el extranjero, lo que se conoce en el mundo notarial como actas del 207 del Reglamento Notarial.
¿Qué es legitimar una firma?
Se trata de un acta notarial que permite acreditar que una firma de un documento corresponde a una persona determinada mediante un Notario que da fe de ello.
La regla es que solo se pueden legitimar firmas de documentos que hayan cumplido todos los requisitos fiscales y que no haya ningún precepto legal que exija la forma de escritura pública o póliza. La excepción es que se pueden legitimar documentos que solo van a producir efectos en el extranjero, aunque no cumplan algunos de los preceptos de la legislación española, siempre que la legitimación cumpla los requisitos del 207.2 del Reglamento Notarial.
Opciones para legitimar una firma ante Notario
Encontramos diferentes opciones para que suceda la legitimación. Puede ser:
- Por firma presencial ante el Notario.
- Reconocida por el firmante ante un Notario.
- Por conocimiento personal del Notario.
- Por cotejo mediante DNI.
- Por cotejo con otra firma legitimada.
- Por cotejo con el protocolo o libro de Notario.
Legitimación de Firma para Documento Extranjero
Asimismo, una de las legitimaciones de firma más comunes es para que determinados documentos privados puedan ser reconocidos en el extranjero. Permite asegurar que una firma es válida y reconocida en otros países para que el documento surta efecto y se cumplan los requisitos de forma exigidos por la legislación extranjera. Se trata de la legitimación de documentos que según la ley española deberían circular aquí como escritura ´publica y según la ley extranjera se puede realizar mediante una simple legitimación.
Este acta de legitimación la encontramos en el Reglamento Notarial, en concreto en el artículo 207. Tiene la particularidad de que sus consecuencias se aplicarán en el país extranjero en el que se prevé que va a surtir efecto y no en España y por eso se puede legitimar un documento que no podría legitimarse en España según las reglas generales.
Estas legitimaciones son frecuentes en la práctica, ya que hoy en día muchas personas mantienen relaciones con otros países. Y, aunque vivan en España, estas relaciones implican la presentación de documentación en otros países, sean declaraciones, recursos administrativos, alegaciones, etc…
Es posible gestionar una legitimación de firma para documento que va a producir efectos en el extranjero en notaría redactado en la lengua oficial del lugar en el que se expedite. En nuestra Notaría en Barcelona se pueden legitimar firmas en catalán o castellano. También se podrá redactar el acta si la firma legitimada ante Notario pertenece a un documento escrito en un idioma conocido por uno de los Notarios de JLA Notarios. Así, desde JLA Notarios podemos legitimar firmas de documentos en inglés, francés, portugués e italiano.
La Apostilla de la Haya
Se trata de un método de certificación de la autenticidad de documentos con carácter internacional que permite que los documentos expedidos por una autoridad sean reconocidos y tengan efecto en otro país. Para ello, se le añade un sello que garantiza que cumple el Convenio de la Haya del 5 de octubre de 1961.
Se deberán apostillar documentos judiciales, administrativos y escrituras notariales que quieran utilizarse en el extranjero.
Si necesita apostillar un documento que ha sido legitimado por nuestra Notaría podemos encargarnos por usted de gestionar la obtención de apostilla en el Colegio Notarial.
¿En qué tipo de transacciones es aplicable la legitimación de firma para país extranjero?
Es común encontrarlo en:
- Acuerdos sociales en órganos de administración de empresas extranjeras.
- Solicitudes o alegaciones para presentar en el extranjero ante la administración de ese país.
- Autorización para que terceros realicen gestiones en el extranjero.
- Declaraciones de voluntad para causas judiciales.
¿Cómo legitimar una firma ante Notario?
Para realizar este acta de legitimación de firma de documento que solo va a producir efectos en el extranjero deberá acudir a una Notaría.

El Notario solo verificará que la firma corresponde a la persona que se identifica, pero no el contenido del documento que se presenta, por lo tanto, no asume responsabilidad sobre él, tan solo sobre la firma.
Fotocopia del documento que el cliente aporte quedará incorporado a la matriz del acta.
El papel del Notario en el acta de legitimación de firma
El Notario es una figura de Derecho imparcial. Es un funcionario público que otorga la certificación dando fe al acta realizada ante su persona. Su figura dota de fe pública al documento, con lo que se obtendrá legitimación en la firma del documento y se verá reflejado en un acta notarial.
La firma legitimada ante Notario ofrece seguridad jurídica a todos los intervinientes del acto que se practica, ya que los Notarios han otorgado autenticidad y veracidad al documento. En el caso de legitimación de firmas para extranjero permite su uso fuera del país.
