All commercial companies must register an official email address with the National Registry to receive electronic notifications, in accordance with Law No. 10597, Electronic Notifications for Commercial Companies. Companies have until June 5, 2026 to comply with this obligation.
Additionally, with respect to judicial notifications, Article 20 of the Judicial Notifications Law currently establishes that commercial companies may be notified through the electronic address registered with the Commercial Registry.
Relevance in Labor Practice
It is of utmost importance to constantly follow up on the registered email address, since judicial proceedings that grant relatively short periods, from 3 to 10 business days, to address rulings or exercise the right of defense as in the case of answers to complaints, could be notified by this means. Likewise, through such electronic address, orders for reinstatement of employees, garnishment orders for debts or child support as well as any other judicial or labor proceeding subject to the provisions of the Judicial Notifications Law, may be notified.
Recommendations for Employers
Employers are advised to register an active email address that is reviewed frequently, considering that judicial notifications may be validly served through such means.
