Cartorio Do 14 Oficio De Notas Da Comarca Da Capital

What Cartorio Do 14 Oficio De Notas Da Comarca Da Capital does

Cartório 14º Ofício de Notas da Comarca da Capital is a Brazilian notary public office (cartório) established in 1912 in Rio de Janeiro, operating as a state-delegated public service (serventia extrajudicial) under the Poder Judiciário. The office is led by Tabeliã Concelina Henrique de Souza and operates five physical branches across Rio de Janeiro neighborhoods (Copacabana headquarters, Bonsucesso, Campo Grande, Ipanema, and Penha Shopping), with operating hours of 09:00 to 17:00 Monday through Friday. As a delegated notary, it holds fé pública — the exclusive legal authority to authenticate facts, formalize wills, and produce documents with the highest probative value in Brazilian law.

The cartório's service portfolio spans public deeds (escrituras públicas) for real estate, stable union declarations, consensual divorces, and estate inventories; the full set of signature and document authentication services (reconhecimento de firmas, autenticação de cópias, abertura de firma); the Hague Apostille in both physical and electronic format (e-Apostil, launched June 2022) covering 118 signatory countries; vehicle sale communications (COMVEN) via partnership with DENATRAN and Febranor; notarial minutes (atas notariais); and extrajudicial usucapião processing. The office added online service requests (Atos On-line) during COVID-19 and supports external notarial acts under CGJ TJRJ Provimento 73-2025. The technology stack consists of interlinked notary management systems and the CNJ-driven e-Apostil platform for electronic document delivery with QR Code verification.

Revenue is generated entirely through state-regulated emolument fees (Portaria CGJ), charged on a per-act basis across the service portfolio. The customer base is a hybrid of individual citizens (real estate, family law, international documents), attorneys and legal professionals using extrajudicial procedures under Law 11.441/07, and vehicle buyers/sellers using COMVEN. The go-to-motion is direct-to-consumer through physical branches and online requests, with no active paid marketing — outreach is driven by regulatory authority, local word-of-mouth within the legal and real estate community, and the office's 110-year operating history. Customer logos are not publicly identified, and revenue figures are not disclosed.

Direct peers

• Cartório do 1º Ofício de Notas de São Paulo: São Paulo-based state-delegated notary offering the same core notarial services (escrituras, apostilles, procurações, recognitions, authentications) under the same Brazilian regulatory framework. Directly comparable in service scope; serves a different territorial jurisdiction.
• Cartório do 5º Ofício de Notas de Belo Horizonte: Belo Horizonte notary office offering escrituras públicas, Hague Apostille, and other standard notarial acts under federal/CGJ regulation. Closely analogous operating model in a different metropolitan market.
• Cartório do 2º Ofício de Notas do Rio de Janeiro: Same-city Rio de Janeiro notary serving an overlapping geographic footprint with the same regulated service menu. The most direct local comparable in terms of customer base and competitive dynamics.
• Cartório do 1º Ofício de Notas de Brasília: Federal capital notary offering the same diversified notarial service suite under the same national regulatory regime. Comparable in service breadth and regulatory exposure to government-driven document flows.

Broad incumbents

• Febranor (Federação Brasileira dos Notários e Registradores): National federation representing Brazilian notaries and registrars; operates industry-wide technology partnerships (e.g., COMVEN with DENATRAN) that benefit member cartórios including the 14th Office. Comparable as an ecosystem orchestrator rather than a single-office operator.
• Colégio Notarial do Brasil (CNB): National notarial association that co-developed the e-Apostil platform with the CNJ. Comparable as the institutional counterpart that defines standards and digital infrastructure used by individual cartórios.
• Anoreg-RJ (Associação dos Notários e Registradores do Estado do Rio de Janeiro): State-level notarial and registration association in Rio de Janeiro. Comparable as the local industry body that links individual cartórios (including the 14th Office) to regulatory oversight and transparency reporting.

• Notarize: US-based online notarization platform. Comparable in offering digital notarial acts to remote customers; useful as a benchmark for how digital notarization may evolve in Brazil, even though US and Brazilian notarial regimes differ.

Regional players

• Apostille.com: US-based document authentication and apostille services firm serving primarily North American customers. Comparable in offering remote apostille processing for cross-border document use; competes for the same end-customer need (Hague Apostille) from a different geography.
