Exequátur

As a general rule, the documents that can be presented to the Exequatur are:

Firm foreign judgments from judicial bodies of the contentious order, including class actions. This means that sentences must have been handed down by competent courts and not be subject to appeals or pending review.

Foreign judgments final and unappealable in cases of voluntary jurisdiction. These are judicial decisions related to non-contentious matters, such as adoption, marriage, consensual divorce, among others.

Foreign precautionary and provisional measures, provided that the refusal of recognition causes a violation of effective judicial protection. These measures must have been agreed upon in a hearing with the opposing party and are applicable only in specific cases.

Foreign public documents, such as birth, marriage, death certificates, real estate records, among others. These documents must be authentic and duly legalized, in accordance with the procedures established by the applicable legislation.

It is important to note that the Exequatur process may vary according to the laws and regulations of each country. It is recommended to seek specialized legal advice to ensure correct compliance with the legal requirements and procedures necessary for the recognition of foreign documents.
