What Cartorio 15 Oficio de Notas does

Cartorio 15 Oficio de Notas (legal name: Cartorio Fernanda de Freitas Leitão, CNPJ 27.150.648/0001-09) is the 15th Notary Office of Rio de Janeiro, a state-authorized serventia notarial extrajudicial founded in 1918 and administered by Tabeliã Fernanda Leitão. It delivers the full standard catalog of Brazilian extrajudicial notarial acts through two physical units in Rio de Janeiro — the historic Centro location at Rua do Ouvidor 89 and the Barra da Tijuca branch at Av. das Américas 500 — alongside CGJ-RJ-authorized electronic acts (atos eletrônicos) and external acts (diligências) under Provimento CGJ nº 73/2025.

Its core product surface comprises property deeds (escrituras de imóveis), extrajudicial divorce and separation, extrajudicial probate (inventário), wills and succession planning, stable union registration, public powers of attorney, signature recognition (reconhecimento de firmas), document authentication (autenticação de cópias), notarial minutes (atas notariais) including for usucapião, Hague apostille (Apostilamento de Haia), digital certificate (Certificado Digital) issuance, paternity recognition, living wills, travel authorization for minors, and Detran.RJ services for CNH and CIN/RG issuance. The office was the first in Brazil to perform a fully digital real estate purchase and sale deed (March 2020) and the first to register a stable union using blockchain technology (2016).

Revenue is generated entirely through regulated per-act transaction fees set by the CGJ-RJ tabela de custas, billed pay-as-you-go with no published price points. The primary customer segment is individual consumers (pessoa física) using notarial services for property transactions, family law matters, and identification, with a secondary segment of legal entities (pessoa jurídica) using corporate authentication services and a tertiary segment of vulnerable populations reached through social programs such as Projeto Pop Rua/Pop Rua Jud. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across both physical branches, remote electronic channels, and WhatsApp scheduling.
