Getting started with Notificado

From a new account to your first electronic notification with a constancia de entrega, step by step.

Updated:

Notificado is verified, secure email with proof of delivery for lawyers in Colombia. The personal notification of article 8 of Ley 2213 de 2022 goes out as a data message, with a constancia de entrega (the record of delivery): the message is frozen and timestamped before it leaves, every delivery event is recorded in a chain nobody can rewrite, and you end up with a signed constancia and an evidence package a perito (expert witness) verifies without relying on us.

1. Create your account

Sign up at /registro with your email and a password of at least 12 characters. The account also creates your firm (organization): your cases, notifications and credits live there. The firm name is optional: if you practise on your own and leave it blank, the firm takes your own name. Invite other members from Account → Members.

2. Verify your identity as a lawyer

To send as apoderado (attorney of record) you need an approved verification. Under Account → Verification (/cuenta/verificacion) choose your document type and enter its number, your tarjeta profesional (bar card) number (dots are fine), your full name and the email registered in SIRNA. Uploading the card's constancia de vigencia (certificate of good standing), which you download from the Rama Judicial, or a legible photo is optional (PDF, PNG or JPEG, up to 20 MB); a photo is shrunk and straightened in your browser before it is uploaded. We look you up in the national lawyer registry and send a code to that email. If the registry matches, shows your card vigente (in good standing) with no observations, and you enter the code, the verification is approved automatically, with no wait for a person, and we write to you with a button to make your first send. If the registry does not answer, the document you uploaded can take its place. If something does not match, the page tells you what to correct. The guide How we verify that you are a lawyer explains each step.

The verification is personal: it is valid in every firm you are a member of. If you will not send as apoderado you do not need it: prepare the drafts and a verified lawyer at the firm approves and sends them.

3. Register the case

Under Cases → New (/casos/nuevo) enter the 23-digit radicado (Código Único de Radicación), the juzgado (court) and its email, the city, the specialty, the type of proceeding and your client. The radicado identifies the case; dashes and spaces are fine.

4. Prepare and send the notification

From the case, choose Notify. The wizard asks for the providencia (usually the auto admisorio), the documents (PDF, PNG or JPEG, 6 MB in total at most) and the recipients, with your sworn statement on how you obtained each address. The guide Send an art. 8 notification walks through every field.

5. Follow delivery and download the evidence

Under Notifications you see, per recipient, when the mail server accepted the message, the openings (always as an indicio), the downloads and the acknowledgement of receipt. Once delivery events arrive the constancia is issued; read States and evidence to learn what each one proves.
