About the Notario Sinaloa Exam
Independent practice for Sinaloa's notary examen de calificación by OpenExamPrep. Under the Ley del Notariado del Estado de Sinaloa, candidates with ten years' residence, five years of legal practice and two years of notarial practice sit a five-hour practical test and an oral examination before a five-member jury; 80 points qualify them, and the Governor grants the Fíat applying gender parity. The bank also covers Article 21 Bis, added in September 2026. It is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation, built on the state statute, the Ley Agraria and federal company law, and it keeps the Spanish legal terms. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.
Exam sponsor: Secretaría General de Gobierno del Estado de Sinaloa. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
When notarías are created or vacant, the Executive publishes the call by Decreto Administrativo in the Periódico Oficial and a major newspaper (Article 22); candidates apply to the Secretaría General de Gobierno within fifteen business days (Article 23). The Executive sets topics and questions, with a proposal from the Consejo's Junta Directiva, sealed in numbered envelopes; the candidate chooses one (Article 33). In up to five continuous hours, with codes, reference books, their libro de práctica and a typist but no outside help, the candidate develops the topic and solves a case assigned on the spot (Article 34). At the theoretical test, the candidate reads the work, and each juror questions them on the case, law in general, notarial technique and their practice drafts; a candidate who does not appear loses the exam (Article 35). The jury grades legal content, clarity and answers, by majority, with 80 as the minimum (Articles 36–37). The Executive then grants the Fíat, applying gender parity (Article 41).
Time Limit

Notario Sinaloa: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can sit Sinaloa's notary exam?
Sinaloan citizens aged 30 or over with ten years' residence in the State, a law cédula, five years of practice from the title, and two uninterrupted years of notarial practice under a State notary with a libro de práctica of at least 30 draft escrituras, among the other Article 24 requirements. None can be waived (Article 26).
How is the exam graded, and who gets the Fíat?
The five jurors grade the practical and theoretical tests together, by majority, with 80 points as the minimum. A candidate who does not finish both tests is treated as below 80. Passing makes a candidate eligible; since the 2022 reform, the Executive must apply gender parity when deciding who receives the Fíat (Articles 37 and 41).
What happens after failing?
Candidates below 80, those who lost the right to the exam, and those who passed without receiving the Fíat may take part when a new call is published; the statute sets no fixed waiting period (Article 37).
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, not an official translation or format simulation. It keeps the Spanish legal terms and reviews the statute behind the practical and oral tests.
