Roles linked to the service of legal person certificate
All the procedures for issuing legal person certificates, as well as the setup to use the GAUDI [BCCR’s app] functionalities, are carried out through the
Central Directo transactional platform.
There are three important roles for the participation of the legal person in the Central Directo platform:
1. Person with Authority to Sign the Subscriber Agreement: This person must have the legal capacity required to express the will of the legal person, to become a subscriber of legal person certificates through the signing of the Subscriber Agreement, as well as to use the functionalities of the GAUDI application. For the acknowledgment of this legal representative by the Central Directo platform, it is required to have the certification of a
notary, who will confirm (digital affidavit) before the platform that the designated person has sufficient authority to carry out the procedures. Once the notary registers the digital affidavit, it will remain valid for 30 calendar days, during which the legal representative may perform any action on the platform on behalf of the legal entity. Go to the
Online Assistance section for more details (in Spanish) about the process that notaries must follow.
2. Representative of the Legal Person: This person may complete the registration of the legal person on the Central Directo platform and appoint the Technical Assistants. The representatives must meet one of the following requirements:
