SC extends validity of existing notarial commissions set to expire soon

The Supreme Court extended the validity of existing notarial commissions set to expire by the end of 2021 for another six months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Accordingly, all notarial commissions granted in 2019 and whose validity had been previously extended until December 31, 2021… are deemed further extended,” the high court said in a statement.

According to the SC, the notarial commissions will remain valid for another six months from January 1, 2022 until June 30, 2022.

During that period, the high court said the notaries public which are deemed extended “shall continue performing notarial acts using their existing seals.”

The two-page resolution extending the validity of the notarial commissions was signed by En Banc Clerk of Court Marife M. Lomibao-Cuevas. — DVM, GMA News
