89. Where a notary expects to be absent for a period of more than 15 days, the notary shall, subject to the conditions determined by regulation of the board of directors, by notarial act en minute and for the time of his or her absence, give a mandate to another notary to issue copies of or extracts from the notarial acts in the notary’s individual notarial records or in the notarial records assigned to or under the provisional custody of the notary. A notary may also, at any time, appoint a mandatary for the time of his or her absence in accordance with this paragraph.

The same obligation is incumbent on notaries who deposit their acts in joint notarial records and on partners in a general partnership having constituted shared notarial records if all of them expect to be absent for the same period.

An authentic copy of the mandate shall be filed immediately at the office of the secretary of the Order.

The copies or extracts issued under this section are authentic, notwithstanding the provisions of articles 2815 and 2817 of the Civil Code.
