2019-10-01

5.1. For the purposes of the laws respecting the publication of rights and in order to allow the use of a technological process to sign applications for registration and other documents presented for registration to the registrar,

(1)  the secretary of the Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec shall assign to all land surveyors who apply therefor a personal code allowing them to affix their signature;

(2)  the secretary of the Ordre des notaires du Québec shall authorize, in accordance with the Notaries Act (chapter N-3), all notaries who apply therefor to use their official signature affixed by means of a technological process.

The use of a technological process by a member of a professional order or any other user may not in any case result in costs to the State. Thus, where a member of a professional order or another user uses a technological signature process, it must be compatible with the system used for the publication of rights. All the necessary verifications relating to such a signature, in particular those prescribed by the regulations on the publication of rights, must also be carried out without cost to the State.
