''[[Mexico|Mexico]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[Mexico|Mexico Notarial Records]]'' | |||
Notary records are records that were recorded and verified by a notary. Public notaries and scribes in Latin America recorded a great variety of legal documents. Books are generally organized chronologically under the notary’s name. Spanish law governed the maintenance of these notarial registers (protocolos or notarios) by establishing forms on which the information was to be entered. The practice of keeping notarial records persisted in Latin American countries after they gained independence from Spain, at which time, indexing the records became more common. | Notary records are records that were recorded and verified by a notary.
