A.No, it is expressly prohibited
B.Yes, within the same demarcation
C.Yes, with the Consejo's consent
D.Yes, if the second notaría is vacant and the Secretaría de Gobierno appoints them as interim for up to two years

A.Only the Governor's decision
B.A court judgment in every case
C.A resolution of the Congreso del Estado, adopted by two thirds of the deputies present
D.Hearing the notary and considering the Consejo de Notarios' opinion

A.Yes, any amount agreed in writing
B.No; agreed fees may not be lower than the Arancel
C.Yes, for repeat clients
D.Yes, if the Consejo de Notarios approves the discount in advance for that specific client
Explanation: Article 6 has notaries charge the fees due under the Arancel and what is agreed with clients, but agreed fees may not be lower than the Arancel. Clients may freely choose their notary, and notaries collaborate in social-interest and electoral services.

B.No role; the parties pay the treasury directly

D.Tax judges who may waive state taxes for low-value operations after consulting the Secretaría de Finanzas
Explanation: Article 8 makes notaries auxiliaries of the state treasury for assessing and collecting state taxes arising from acts before them, and jointly liable for their payment, provided they were given the funds. They must record when they informed the client of the taxes, with a signed constancia in the apéndice, and keep a register of amounts received and paid.
6Which municipalities make up the Querétaro notarial demarcation under Article 9?
A.Querétaro only
B.Querétaro, San Juan del Río and Tequisquiapan
C.Querétaro, El Marqués and Corregidora
D.All eighteen municipalities of the State, since notaries may act statewide

A.One per municipality
B.One per 50,000 inhabitants statewide
C.Only at the Consejo de Notarios' written request, after a vote of its general assembly
D.1 per 25,000 per demarcation, or 30% growth in registered deeds
Explanation: Article 10 lets the Governor create notarías on either of two criteria: one notaría per 25,000 inhabitants in each demarcation, or economic growth in the demarcation's municipalities shown by a 30% increase in notarial instruments registered in the Registro Público in the previous two years.

A.Within thirty days after starting
B.Five business days before starting functions there
C.Only if the Archivo asks
D.Once a year, in January, together with the index of instruments of the previous year
Explanation: Article 11 requires the notary to inform the Secretaría de Gobierno and the Director of the Archivo General de Notarías of the notaría's address five business days before starting functions there. Any change of address needs prior authorization, and the notaría must be open at least six hours on business days.
9A Querétaro notary keeps authorized blank folios and the seal in a satellite office. How does Article 11 treat this?
A.It is allowed if the office is in the same demarcation
B.It counts as operating another notarial office, a grave infraction
C.It is allowed during business hours
D.It is allowed if the Consejo de Notarios certifies the satellite office's security
Explanation: Article 11 forbids operating any notarial office other than the registered one. Operating at an address other than the declared notaría is a grave infraction, and keeping the seal and authorized blank folios at a different address counts as operating a notarial office, save legal exceptions.
10Which course must an applicant for a Querétaro notary appointment have passed under Article 12, fraction VII?
A.A Curso de Derecho Notarial by the UAQ, a SEP-recognized institution or the Consejo
B.A master's in tax law
C.A course by the Secretaría de Gobierno
D.An online course of the Colegio Nacional del Notariado Mexicano of at least forty hours

About the Notario Querétaro Exam

Independent practice for Querétaro's notary appointment exam by OpenExamPrep. Under the Ley del Notariado del Estado de Querétaro (reformed through 2024), a lawyer with five years of practice and the Curso de Derecho Notarial may be examined when a notaría is vacant: a single theory-practice exam before five lawyers, decided by secret majority vote, leads to a life appointment by the Governor. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. It is built on the state statute, including its Arancel, and on federal company and tax rules, keeps the Spanish legal terms, and does not simulate the drafting exercise or the oral questioning. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.

Exam sponsor: Secretaría de Gobierno del Estado de Querétaro. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Querétaro has no separate aspirante stage: when a notaría is vacant, an applicant meeting Article 12 asks the Governor to be examined (Articles 12–14). The jury of five lawyers (the Governor's representative presiding, a Tribunal Superior de Justicia representative, the Consejo president's representative as secretary and two Consejo-named notaries) administers a theory-practice exam: five hours before the exam, the secretary opens one of ten sealed topics prepared by the Consejo, and the candidate drafts the instrument and answers its questionnaire (up to five questions) with codes and books; at the exam, the candidate reads the work and each juror may ask one question on the case. The jury decides by secret vote; a majority in favour suffices, and a candidate failed by majority waits a year (Articles 15–18).

Time Limit

Up to five hours of drafting before the session, then reading and questioning

Passing Score

Secret-vote majority of the five-member jury

Exam / Certification Fees

No exam fee in the Ley del Notariado; a 20,000-UMA bond is required before practicing

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an aspirante exam in Querétaro?

No. Querétaro appoints notaries directly: when a notaría is vacant, an applicant who meets Article 12 (including five years of practice and the Curso de Derecho Notarial) applies to the Governor and takes a single theory-practice exam. If approved by the jury's majority, the Governor issues the appointment.

How does the exam work?

Five hours before the exam, the jury's secretary opens one of ten sealed topics prepared by the Consejo de Notarios. The candidate drafts the notarial instrument and answers the attached questionnaire of up to five questions, using codes and reference books. At the exam, the candidate reads the work, each juror may ask a question on the case, and the jury votes in secret (Articles 16–18).

What must a new notary do before starting?

Give the protesta, register the appointment with the Archivo General de Notarías, have folios authorized, register seal and signature, and post a professional-liability bond of 20,000 times the UMA (Article 22). The notary must begin within thirty days after the Archivo records the appointment and file a suplencia agreement within ninety days (Article 35).

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

No. The exam is 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.
