What changed and who it applies to
What changed
The General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) simplifies the registration of company managers and directors. Acceptance of the office may result from the minutes, from a note signed with an electronic signature or from the verification by the reviewing professional (previously more was required). It admits a special electronic domicile. It reduces the documentary requirements for removal (it eliminates articles 105, 107 to 109 and 112 to 113 of the IGJ's body of rules) and introduces a simplified procedure for the resignation of managers with defined deadlines. The sworn statement of Politically Exposed Person is kept. The text states that it acts 'eliminating duplicate requirements, simplifying the documentation required'. verif May 13, 2026 ↗

Are you in or out?
Corporations and limited-liability companies, their managers and directors, and the professionals who file before the IGJ.

Our reading
Concrete corporate deregulation (R-desregulación): the IGJ prunes duplicate requirements of corporate life (appointment/removal/resignation of managers) and admits electronic signature and domicile, lowering the cost of running a company. It is part of the State-simplification agenda of the Sturzenegger program. A cross-cutting impact on business operations. thesis
