La desmaterialización de los documentos como proceso de modernización de las actuaciones notariales y el principio de seguridad jurídica

Abstract

The development of the present research is based on the legal and constitutional arguments that allow promoting the modernization of the Ecuadorian State, considering the dematerialization of notarial actions and their relationship with the principle of legal certainty. The methodology used was a qualitative, descriptive approach, using structured interviews as a data collection instrument directed at notaries and lawyers. The main results indicate that indeed the dematerialization of documents is perceived as part of the State's modernization process and aligns with the principle of legal certainty, thanks to the established procedures. However, it is necessary to keep the information system updated according to technological advances in order to strengthen the user's trust in the system. Additionally, constant training for notarial staff and simplification of procedures for obtaining information are essential aspects to be considered.
