N-3 - Notaries Act

Full text
92.2. Where a notary expects to not be able to issue copies of or extracts from the acts in his or her notarial records or in the notarial records assigned to him or her or under his or her provisional custody, the notary must give a mandate, by a notarial act en minute, to another notary to issue the copies or extracts. A notary may also, at any time, appoint a mandatary for a specified time.
A statement specifying the name of the mandatary, the period and the part of the notarial records covered by the mandate, as well as the name of the officiating notary and the number of the minute of the mandate must be filed immediately with the Order.
The copies or extracts issued under this section are authentic, despite the provisions of articles 2815 and 2817 of the Civil Code.
The board of directors may, by regulation, determine terms and conditions according to which a notary is to give a mandate referred to in the first paragraph.
