This defines the characterizing notes of the notaries, their powers, the requirements to obtain and exercise public faith, the protocol, and the copies thereof that constitute a public instrument, the regulation of ownership and custody of the protocols and inspection of the Notaries, and the rights and awards of notaries, among others.  Faced with the previous regime, the law has established the following bases:
