Notary in Barcelona

As a notary's office in Barcelona we want to be part of the important moments in the daily life of any person or company. Our commitment is to solve in an agile and efficient way any kind of notarial procedure you may need, making your daily needs our notarial services!

My objective as a notary in Barcelona is to show in the closest, most complete and orderly way possible through this website the many notary services we offer to citizens, banks and companies in the city of Barcelona. When you go to any notary office you should always keep in mind:

  1. In Spain there are almost 3,000 active notaries distributed throughout the country.
  2. Citizens are guaranteed the right to freely choose the notary of their choice.
  3. No notary can randomly charge whatever he/she wants, since notary fees are strictly regulated by law.

Therefore, whenever you need to choose a notary, always base your decision on the quality of the notarial services offered , not on the price—which should be the same.

LIFE IS MOMENTS, LIVE IT!

IT IS EASY TO BE HAPPY, WHAT IS DIFFICULT IS TO BE SIMPLE.

I HAVE MY SMILE READY FOR WHEN I SEE YOU.

A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP.

IT TAKES SADNESS TO KNOW HAPPINESS, NOISE TO APPRECIATE SILENCE, AND ABSENCE TO VALUE PRESENCE.

IF YOU GIVE A LOT, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A LOT. NO ONE GIVES WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE.

DON'T TELL ME THE HOURS YOU WORK, TELL ME WHAT YOU GET.

THINK THREE TIMES AS MUCH, DO TWICE AS MUCH AND TALK HALF AS MUCH.

LIFE IS SHORT: KISS SLOWLY, LAUGH LOUDLY, LOVE INTENSELY AND FORGIVE QUICKLY.

THERE IS NO LACK OF TIME, THERE IS A LACK OF INTEREST, BECAUSE WHEN YOU WANT TO, THE EARLY MORNING BECOMES THE DAY, TUESDAY BECOMES A SATURDAY AND A MOMENT BECOMES AN OPPORTUNITY.

MOTIVATION: IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED. HABIT: IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING.

DEDICATE YOURSELF TO FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, THAT'S WHO YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH.

LIFE IS NOT MEASURED IN MINUTES , IT IS MEASURED IN MOMENTS.

IT IS NOT THE ONE WHO GOES FASTER WHO GETS THERE FIRST, BUT THE ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING.

IN DARK TIMES, GOOD PEOPLE SHINE.

HE WHO DID NOT WANT TO WHEN HE COULD, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WHEN HE WANTS TO... ATTESTED: THE OPPORTUNITY.

CONFIDENCE IS FEELING SAFE TO BE YOURSELF.

I LIKE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK CLEARLY, NOT PRETTY.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO EMBARK ON A NEW COURSE, LIVE A NEW STORY OR BUILD A NEW DREAM.

HAPPINESS IS ACHIEVED WHEN WHAT ONE THINKS, WHAT ONE SAYS AND WHAT ONE DOES ARE IN HARMONY.

INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGE.

BE HAPPY, SO MUCH SO THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY.

THERE ARE THREE THINGS IN LIFE THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER LOSE: YOUR SMILE, YOUR JOY AND YOUR WAY OF BEING.

IN THIS HOUSE WE LAUGH AND SING AND, IF WE EVER CRY, WE ALWAYS FORGIVE EACH OTHER.

THE SECRET IS IN THE DESIRE.

LOVE AND HAPPINESS ARE NOT PUBLISHED, THEY ARE LIVED.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS, BUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

LOVING ONESELF IS THE BEGINNING OF AN ETERNAL LOVE STORY.

IF IT WASN'T YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET YOU?

SUCCESS IS THE SUM OF SMALL EFFORTS REPEATED DAY AFTER DAY.

TODAY'S TASK: LISTEN TO MUSIC, SAY THANK YOU, LAUGH OUT LOUD, GIVE A GOOD KISS, GIVE A HUG. REPEAT MANY TIMES.

NO ONE IS LIKE YOU AND THAT IS YOUR POWER.

YOUR BELIEFS DON'T MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, YOUR ACTIONS DO.

INSIST, PERSIST, RESIST AND NEVER GIVE UP.

I ALSO BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST LAUGH.

HAPPINESS IS NOT A DESTINATION, IT IS THE ATTITUDE WITH WHICH YOU TRAVEL THROUGH LIFE.

A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY LOST.

GOOD IS NEVER EASY. EASY IS NEVER GOOD.

WE ARE INSTANTS.

WHAT IF YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH AND JUST GIVE IT A TRY?

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SCARS FOR BRAVERY THAN INTACT SKIN FOR COWARDICE.

DOESN'T GET EASIER, YOU GET STRONGER.

DO, NOT SAY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MY STORY ENDS, BUT IN ITS PAGES YOU WILL NEVER READ "I GAVE UP".

CREATIVE IS NOT THE ONE WHO IMAGINES, BUT THE ONE WHO MAKES IMAGINE.

THE PESSIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF EMPTY, THE OPTIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF FULL AND THE ENTREPRENEUR GOES IN SEARCH OF MORE WATER.

MAY ALL GOOD THINGS FOLLOW YOU, FIND YOU AND STAY WITH YOU.

TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU LOVE, BECAUSE MEMORIES CANNOT BE EMBRACED.

MAYBE HEARTS ARE BROKEN BY PUTTING IN PEOPLE WHO DON'T FIT INSIDE.

DREAMS ARE THE GOAL, IMAGINATION THE TRANSPORT, REALITY THE STARTING POINT.

SOMETIMES THINGS COME WHEN YOU STOP LOOKING. WHAT IS FOR YOU, NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM YOU.

THE PESSIMIST COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WIND; THE OPTIMIST HOPES IT WILL CHANGE, THE REALIST ADJUSTS THE SAILS.

YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU ARE WHAT YOU GIVE.

THERE IS NO BETTER MEDICINE THAN TO THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

SMILE! WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTIVE LATER.

NEVER FORGET WHY YOU STARTED.

ASK YOURSELF IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING TODAY IS GETTING YOU CLOSER TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE TOMORROW.

DON'T LOVE ME SO MUCH AND LOVE ME BETTER.

WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AND SMILE AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

MORE SUBSTANCE, LESS APPEARANCE.

YOU MUST NOT SET LIMITS ON ANYTHING. THE MORE YOU DREAM, THE FURTHER YOU GO.

THE ONLY IMPOSSIBLE THING IS WHAT YOU DON'T TRY.

IF IT DOESN'T ADD UP, DON'T SUBTRACT.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO A GREAT JOB IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT, BE AFRAID TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

BE THE PERSON YOU REALLY WANT TO BE AND NOT THE PERSON YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO BE.

BEAUTY BEGINS WITH THE DECISION TO BE YOURSELF.

THE REWARD OF OUR WORK IS NOT WHAT WE GET, BUT WHAT WE BECOME.

BE ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE UP.

SILENCE AND A SMILE ARE TWO POWERFUL WEAPONS: A SMILE SOLVES PROBLEMS AND SILENCE AVOIDS THEM.

WHEN THE MOST DIFFICULT TRIALS OF MY LIFE COME, I WILL LOOK AT THEM WITH A SMILE. AND I WILL SAY TO THEM: "I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU".

IT'S NOT ABOUT LIVING, IT'S ABOUT FEELING ALIVE.

THINK LIKE AN ADULT, LIVE LIKE A YOUNG PERSON, ADVISE LIKE AN ELDER AND NEVER STOP DREAMING LIKE A CHILD.

SUCCESS IN LIFE IS NOT IN ALWAYS WINNING, BUT IN NEVER GIVING UP.

GIVE EVERY DAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

LITTLE BY LITTLE A LITTLE BIT BECOMES A LOT.

LAUGHTER HAS NO TIME, IMAGINATION HAS NO AGE AND DREAMS ARE FOREVER.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH PASSION.

BE YOURSELF, ALL OTHER POSITIONS ARE FILLED.

GENIUS IS 1% INSPIRATION AND 99% PERSPIRATION.

OPPORTUNITIES MULTIPLY AS THEY ARE TAKEN.

DON'T TURN A BAD MOMENT INTO A BAD DAY.

ONE WISH CHANGES NOTHING, ONE ACTION CHANGES EVERYTHING.

WHO HAS MAGIC... DOESN'T NEED TRICKS.

STAY WHERE EVERYTHING IS MUTUAL.

CHANGE IS FOR THE BRAVE. COWARDS PREFER TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO DEFEAT A PERSON WHO NEVER GIVES UP.

WHAT IS FOR ONE EVENTUALLY ARRIVES, AND WHAT IS NOT , TIME ITSELF TAKES IT AWAY.

I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING BELIEVING THAT TODAY IS GOING TO BE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.

TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND I REMEMBER, INVOLVE ME AND I LEARN.

THE ONLY PLACE WHERE "SUCCESS" COMES BEFORE "WORK" IS IN THE DICTIONARY.

IF YOU DO A FAVOR, NEVER REMEMBER IT; IF YOU RECEIVE IT, NEVER FORGET IT.

MISTAKES ARE FOR LEARNING, NOT FOR REPEATING.

IF YOU DON'T GO FOR EVERYTHING , WHAT DO YOU GO FOR?

WORK ON YOURSELF EVERY DAY.

YOU BECOME THE PEOPLE YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME WITH. CHOOSE THEM WISELY.

IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE DIFFERENT, NEVER CHANGE.

DON'T EXPECT MUCH FROM YOUR LIFE IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO READ, IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP, IF YOU DON'T LEARN CONSTANTLY AND EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE EASY.

HAVING A PURPOSE AWAKENS THE SENSES.

THEY SAY THAT THE BEST PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE WITHOUT LOOKING FOR THEM.

How much does a notary service in Barcelona cost?

The cost of a notary service in Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, can vary depending on the type of procedure you need to perform. Notaries in Spain have rates regulated by the State, which means that the prices for certain services are fixed and must be respected by all notaries. However, the final cost may vary depending on the complexity of the document or the number of parties involved. In our article "Did you know that.... all notaries must charge the same?" we explain everything in detail.

Is it possible to carry out notarial procedures online in Barcelona?

Since last November 2023 citizens in Spain can do their paperwork online through the Citizen's Notarial Portal. We explain in detail how it works in our page about the Notarial Portal.

Can I receive legal advice at a notary's office in Barcelona?

Yes, you can receive legal advice at a notary's office in Barcelona, although the type of advice a notary can provide is specific and is focused primarily on the documents and formalities that are being formalized before him or her. Notaries in Spain are legal professionals with extensive legal training, and their role includes ensuring that notarial acts and contracts comply with the law and protect the interests of all parties involved. Our team of professionals will be happy to support you with your paperwork. Make your inquiry directly online and we will contact you.

This includes a variety of essential services. You will find our services offered with the documentation requirements you need to provide.

What are the differences between a notary and a lawyer in Barcelona?

In Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, the professions of notary and lawyer have different roles and responsibilities, although both work in the legal field. Here I explain the main differences:

  1. Function and objectives:
    • Notary: The main function of a notary is to confer public faith to the documents and acts that are formalized before him, ensuring their legality, authenticity and legal certainty. Notaries act as an impartial intermediary between the parties to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that agreements are properly documented.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers represent and defend the interests of their clients in various legal matters, both in and out of court. Their role is to provide legal advice to their clients, prepare the defense and representation in litigation, and guide in legal proceedings and decisions.
  2. Impartiality:
    • Notary: Must maintain a neutral position, ensuring that all parties understand the content and legal consequences of the documents and acts they sign.
    • Lawyer: He is committed to defend his client's interests, acting in a partial manner in favor of his client.
  3. Legal documents:
    • Notary: Has the exclusive authority to create public documents (such as deeds of sale, wills and powers of attorney) that have a high degree of reliability and are directly enforceable.
    • Lawyer: Prepares writings and private documents, such as contracts, lawsuits and other legal documents that may need to be validated or notarized in order to have certain legal formalities.
  4. Requirements to practice:
    • Notary: To become a notary in Spain, it is necessary to pass a rigorous national examination and be appointed by the Ministry of Justice. Notaries are civil servants.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers must obtain a law degree, pass the bar exam and be admitted to the corresponding bar association.
  5. Scope of work:
    • Notary: His work is more focused on the prevention of litigation, ensuring that acts and contracts are clear and within the law.
    • Attorney: May be involved in a wide range of legal situations, including litigation, legal advice, negotiations and mediations between conflicting parties.

These differences underscore the importance of each profession within the legal system and how they complement the legal spectrum by serving society's various legal needs. You can find more information about the requirements to become a notary in our article "Did you know that... to become a notary it is necessary to have a law degree and then study a tough opposition?"

Can I freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona?

Yes, you can freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona to carry out your legal and notarial procedures. In Spain, notaries are liberal professionals and citizens have the right to choose the notary's office they prefer, although you must keep in mind that they are assigned to a locality and have a territorial limit. You can select a notary based on criteria such as proximity, recommendations, specialization in certain services, or even the speed and efficiency of the service offered. This flexibility is part of the guarantee of access to quality notary services tailored to your specific needs. You can find more information in our article on whether you can choose the notary you want.
