C.In calendar months, regardless of their length
D.In business days, excluding the whole month of December, when the Dirección suspends notarial deadlines
Explanation: Article 3 provides that periods are counted in natural days unless the law expressly says otherwise. They start the day after the act and include the last day; if that falls on a non-business day, they end on the next business day. Saturdays, Sundays and official rest days are non-business days, and a month equals thirty natural days.

A.Never; it is incompatible with the notarial function
B.Whenever both parties agree in writing, even without any certification from a judicial authority

Explanation: Article 5 provides that when, in the procedures of fractions II to IV (successions, family patrimony and voluntary jurisdiction), the notary learns of a fact implying a dispute, the notary records the circumstance and immediately sends the file to the competent court to continue the procedure.

B.One per municipality
C.One per 20,000 inhabitants in Chihuahua city only
D.One per 50,000 inhabitants in each judicial district, with at least one per district
Explanation: Article 9 lets the Executive authorize new notarías as the service grows. In each judicial district, one notaría may be created per 50,000 inhabitants per the latest INEGI census, and every judicial district must have at least one notaría in operation.

About the Notario Chihuahua Exam

Independent practice for Chihuahua's notary exams by OpenExamPrep. Under the Ley del Notariado del Estado de Chihuahua, law graduates with a year of notarial practice take the aspirante exam, and aspirantes then compete for vacant or new notarías in the notary exam, preferably by oposición. Both exams combine a five-hour drafting exercise with a public oral exam before a five-member jury, graded 0–100 (70 to pass as aspirante, 80 as notary). This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. It is built on the state statute and on federal company, tax and foreign-investment rules, keeps the Spanish legal terms, and does not simulate the drafting exercise or the oral exam. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.

Exam sponsor: Dirección del Registro Público de la Propiedad y del Notariado (Chihuahua). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Aspirante exam: the Dirección sets the date within 30 days of a complete application (Article 15). Notary exam: for a vacant notaría, the call is published three times, every seven days, and candidates have 60 days to apply; the exam is preferably an oposición but may be held with a single qualified candidate (Articles 19–21). In both, five jurors (the Director presiding, the Colegio's president and three notaries drawn by lot five days before) run a practical exercise (one of 20 temario instruments drawn by token, five uninterrupted hours, typist only) and a public oral exam (réplica, then free questioning, from the least to the most senior juror). Each juror grades both parts 0–100; the final grade must reach 70 (aspirante) or 80 (notary) (Articles 22–27).

Time Limit

Five uninterrupted hours for the practical exercise, then the oral exam

Passing Score

70/100 for the aspirante exam; 80/100 for the notary exam

Notario Chihuahua: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn the jury mechanics: the Director presides, the least senior notary is secretary, jurors are drawn five days before, and questioning runs from the least to the most senior with the Colegio's president fourth.
2Memorize the deadlines: 45 days before 'No Pasó', seven days for definitive authorization after tax proof, seven business days for the will aviso, 90 days to present a closed book, and 45 business days to open a new notaría.
3Know Chihuahua's distinctive rules: substitutes use the substituted notary's seal, fees go through a custody account, social-service deeds carry a 50% fee cut, and there is no fixed patente term.
4Practice drafting common instruments under time pressure, since the practical exercise allows five uninterrupted hours with only a typist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become an aspirante a notario in Chihuahua?

Meet the Article 13 requirements, including one uninterrupted year of practice in Chihuahua notarías begun at least two years after registering your law degree, and apply to the Dirección, which sets the exam within 30 days. You draft one instrument drawn from a 20-instrument temario in five hours, then face a public oral exam; you need a final grade of 70 out of 100.

How is a notaría awarded?

When a notaría is created or falls vacant, the Dirección calls aspirantes (and interested notaries); for vacancies the call is published three times, every seven days, and candidates have 60 days to apply. The exam follows the same format, but the minimum is 80 out of 100 and the best qualifying candidate wins. The Executive issues the patente within 30 business days, and the notary must start within 45 business days of its publication.

What happens after a poor result?

A candidate who scores 60 or less, abandons the exam, fails the aspirante exam or misses it without justification cannot take another exam until one year after the date set for the previous one (Articles 16 and 27).

Is the exam available in English, and what does this bank cover?

No. The exams are held in Spanish. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation that keeps the Spanish legal terms. It reviews the rules behind the drafting exercise and the jury's questions, but it is not an official translation and does not simulate them.
