A.Titular, adscrito and aspirante
B.Only titular
C.Titular, Auxiliar and Suplente
D.Titular, associate and interim notary appointed by the Colegio for each absence of the titular
Explanation: Article 23, as reformed on 20 November 2021, recognizes three figures: Notario Público Titular, Notario Auxiliar and Notario Suplente. The titular holds a patente; auxiliares and suplentes receive appointments (nombramientos) from the Executive.
2What does Article 6 of the Quintana Roo statute require before a notary's patente is suspended or revoked?
A.An administrative procedure with a hearing for the notary
B.Only the Governor's decision
C.A vote of the Consejo de Notarios
D.A criminal conviction in every case, whatever the breach
Explanation: Article 6 allows suspension or revocation of a notary's patente or appointment only under the law, after the corresponding administrative procedure and a hearing in which the notary may present their case.

A.It is allowed if the notary acts only in Quintana Roo
B.It is allowed with the Secretaría de Gobierno's written permission, renewed each year
C.It is allowed if the notary ceases to use it
D.It is barred, and the breach is a cause for revoking the patente
Explanation: Article 9 allows only one office, within the adscripción, not inside a law firm, company or public or private office. Notaries may not hold another notary patente or appointment, a corredor público licence, or any other figure with notarial or commercial fe pública in any state; breaching this is a cause for revoking the patente.

A.Six hours on business days
B.At least eight hours a day; may close on non-business days
C.Twenty-four hours a day, with an on-call notary

Explanation: Article 13 has the Executive consider population, without exceeding one notary per fifteen thousand inhabitants under official figures, and economic activity related to the notarial function, including the real-estate market. The Secretaría de Gobierno sets the adscripción of new notarías and may relocate existing ones.

A.Senior citizens
B.Public servants
C.State agencies acting within their powers
D.Charities registered with the SAT, for any act in which they take part
Explanation: Article 15 bars notaries from receiving a salary from the treasury and makes the Arancel issued by the Secretaría de Gobierno mandatory.

7When may the Quintana Roo Secretaría de Gobierno require notaries to provide services under Article 16?
A.Whenever a public official asks
B.Never; services are voluntary
C.Only during elections
D.For social-interest matters such as popular housing and regularization, and electoral duties
Explanation: Article 16 lets the Secretaría de Gobierno require notarial services for matters of social interest, such as popular housing programmes, regularization of agrarian land and federal programmes, setting the conditions. Notaries must also serve as the electoral laws provide.
8May a Quintana Roo notary hold money in deposit for a client under Article 20?
A.Yes, any amount
B.Only for the act's taxes and fees, or cheques to listed payees
C.Yes, if the client signs a receipt
D.Only with the Dirección General de Notarías' written authorization for each deposit

10On which boards may a Quintana Roo notary sit under Article 22, fraction IV?
A.Any company's board
B.Only boards of state-owned companies
C.Boards of non-profit legal persons or institutions
D.Boards of banks, provided the notary does not formalize their loans
Explanation: Article 22-IV lets notaries join boards of directors or administration of legal persons or institutions, or act as their secretary, comisario or legal adviser, provided they are non-profit. Notaries may also be arbitrators, conciliators or mediators, tutors or albaceas, and give legal advice.

About the Notario Quintana Roo Exam

Independent practice for Quintana Roo's notary oposición by OpenExamPrep. Under the Ley del Notariado para el Estado de Quintana Roo, as reformed in 2021 and on 12 August 2025, candidates with 24 months of notarial practice in the State compete for each vacant or new notaría in a single oposición: a five-hour drafting test and a written questionnaire before three notary jurors, with 75 out of 100 to pass. 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-law and restricted-zone rules, keeps the Spanish legal terms, and does not simulate the drafting test or the questionnaire. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.

Exam sponsor: Secretaría de Gobierno del Estado de Quintana Roo — Dirección General de Notarías. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

When a notaría is vacant (Article 41, five natural days to apply) or created (Article 41 Bis, ten business days to apply), the Secretaría de Gobierno publishes the call and notifies qualified candidates. One oposición is held per notaría, and a candidate may register for only one. The jury of three notaries (Executive-named president, TSJ-named secretary, Consejo-named vocal) sets five cases on exam day; a randomly chosen candidate draws one, and all develop it in five continuous hours, aided at most by a non-lawyer typist. After a two-hour break, candidates answer a public, written questionnaire of at least 30 questions in three hours. The next business day, each test is graded 0–100; the average must reach 75, the top score wins, ties go to a complementary test, and a void exam is repeated no sooner than a year later (Articles 41–43).

Notario Quintana Roo: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn the 2021 and 2025 reforms: three figures (titular, auxiliar, suplente), 24 months of practice, a three-notary jury, a written theoretical test and the 75-point minimum.
2Memorize the deadlines: 5 natural days to apply for a vacancy, 10 business days for the protesta, 60 natural days to start, 30 natural days before 'no pasó', 10 business days for will and power avisos.
3Know who covers absences: the auxiliar for 1–30 days, the suplente for more than 30, convenios with up to three notaries.
4Practise restricted-zone trust questions, since coastal real estate dominates Quintana Roo practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can compete for a Quintana Roo notaría?

Mexicans aged 28 on the exam date with five years' residence in the State, a law degree and cédula, and 24 months of uninterrupted practice under a Quintana Roo titular, among the other Article 38 requirements. There is no separate aspirante patent; each vacant or new notaría is filled by its own oposición, and none of the requirements can be waived.

How is the oposición graded?

Each of the three jurors grades the practical and theoretical tests from 0 to 100; the two are averaged, and 75 is the minimum. The highest qualifying average wins, and a tie leads to a complementary test within three days. If nobody reaches 75, the exam is declared void and repeated no sooner than a year later (Article 42).

What happens after failing?

Candidates scoring between 60 and 74 may sit the next oposición once six months have passed; those below 60 must wait a year. Any candidate must also wait six months after their last exam, and withdrawing or refusing to hand in a test counts as withdrawing from the exam (Article 42).

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

No. The oposición 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 test and the written questionnaire, but it is not an official translation and does not simulate them.
