Online Sworn Statement Without Leaving Home

Yes, it has exactly the same legal validity. According to Law 11/2023 regulating remote notarial acts, a sworn statement made via video conference with qualified electronic signature has full legal effectiveness.

The notary verifies your identity, the session is recorded, and the electronically signed document meets all requirements to be valid in any administrative or judicial proceeding.

The complete process usually takes 24 to 48 business hours, depending on:

• Availability of video conference appointments
• How quickly you send the required documentation
• Complexity of the certificate content

Once the video conference is completed and the document is signed, you receive the final certificate within the agreed timeframe with the notary office.

Absolutely. The online sworn statement is ideal for people residing outside Spain. You only need:

• Stable internet connection
• Device with camera and microphone (computer, tablet, or mobile)
• Recognized digital certificate or qualified electronic signature
• Valid identity documentation (ID, foreigner ID, or passport)

Many clients residing in America, Europe, and other continents regularly use this service.

The basic documentation includes:

• Valid identity document: ID, foreigner ID, or passport scanned with good resolution
• Digital certificate or qualified electronic signature: to sign the document
• Active email: for communications and receiving drafts
• Supporting documents: according to the type of statements (contracts, deeds, certificates, etc.)

The notary will indicate if you need any additional specific document for your case.

The price varies according to several factors:

• Length and complexity of the certificate content
• Number of pages in the final document
• Additional documents that need to be reviewed
• Delivery format (digital, paper, or both)

We recommend requesting a detailed quote by contacting Las Rozas Notary Office directly. The team will transparently inform you about all costs before starting the procedure.

If you don't have a qualified digital certificate, you have several options:

• Obtain one beforehand: you can request it from the FNMT, certifying authorities, or your bank (some entities offer it)
• In-person signature: complete the video conference online but only come to sign the document at the notary office
• Advice: the notary office team can guide you on how to easily obtain a digital certificate

In any case, the rest of the process can remain digital even if the final signature is in person.

Completely secure. Las Rozas Notary Office uses platforms that comply with:

• Data protection regulations (GDPR): guaranteed confidentiality
• Encrypted communications: the video call is protected
• Session recording: record of the notarial act remains to ensure traceability
• Identity verification: the notary verifies your identity through official document

All technological infrastructure meets the standards required by Spanish notarial legislation.

You can include practically any declaration or expression of will that needs notarial record:

• Declarations about personal or family situations
• Statements related to inheritances or legacies
• Expression of commercial or business intentions
• Record of agreements or commitments
• Property declarations
• Statements for administrative or judicial proceedings

The notary will advise you on the viability and most appropriate wording for your specific case.

Before the final electronic signature, you can request modifications. The typical process is:

• Initial video conference with the notary
• Receipt of certificate draft by email
• Content review and request for changes if necessary
• Approval of definitive text
• Electronic signature of final document

Once the certificate is signed, the content is fixed and could only be modified through a complementary or rectifying certificate if legally appropriate.

You can receive the sworn statement in the formats you need:

• Digital format (electronically signed PDF): sent by secure email, with full legal validity
• Paper format: authorized copy on paper sent by certified mail to your address
• Both formats: if you prefer, you can request both the digital and physical versions

The digital document has the same validity as paper and is accepted by all public administrations and courts.
