Since 1994, when the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) began functioning as a mechanism that aims to reduce trade barriers between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, it has become apparent that the differences and formalities inherent in the Member Countries' legal and notarial systems constitute significant obstacles to trading, particularly in terms of the rendering of services. This paper seeks to elucidate the difficulties that Member Countries commonly face when they attempt to apply foreign notarial documents to their own legal system, to discuss the requirements for the notaries to render services in the NAFTA territory, and to propose modifications that the notarial function must adopt in order to adapt to the technological and cybernetic tendencies that the modern world demands.
