It should be noted that in some cases, rectifying protocols of notarial deeds are submitted to the authority, which affect the specified state of affairs, as well as the submission of notarial deeds, court judgments, or administrative decisions after the statutory 7-day period. In the case of some transactions involving the acquisition of real estate by foreigners, it is also necessary to conduct explanatory activities before entering the data in the register.
