Registration of an LLC and an individual entrepreneur at a notary — pros and cons

Currently, the registration procedure is possible both through a representative by proxy, and personally through a notary. From August 25, 2021, new registration rules are in effect, greatly facilitating this entire process. (Federal law No. 143-ФЗ dated May 26, 2021)

The new rules oblige notaries certifying signatures on applications for state registration of a legal entity (form No. P 11001) or an individual entrepreneur (form No. P 21001) to submit these applications to the registering authority with a package of documents to them.

The possibility of registering a new legal entity or individual entrepreneur through a notary saves time and to some extent facilitates the process itself. But this procedure has its own subtleties and nuances. Let's talk in detail about the pros and cons of filing documents through a notary.

The advantages of filing documents through a notary are obvious:

- there is no need to visit the registration authority,

- registration period no more than 3 working days,

- no need to pay state duty,

  - the risk of registration refusal is reduced due to the elimination of formal errors when filling out the application forms for state registration on their own.

The undoubted advantage is that the applicant does not need to visit the MFC or the tax office, since the notary himself transfers all the documents.

It is also worth considering that the applicant does not need to understand all the documents that are needed and how to fill them out correctly.

But registration through a notary will cost more than when the applicant personally submits all the documents.

When choosing a method of filing documents, it should be borne in mind that no matter which method of filing you choose, you still have to come to a notary at least once. Either in order to issue a power of attorney for a representative, or in order to submit documents through him.
