This article comes to answer one of the most common questions we have from clients in the notarial practice: "What documents are required?". Although there are no two contracts alike, just as there are no two people alike, we can say that there is a general framework that is adapted to each situation. We will present what are the stages and the bureaucratic process that the seller and buyer go through in a real estate contract, but also what documents are required and what each of them is used for. The article is structured according to three moments in the authentication process: the procedures prior to authentication, those concurrent with authentication, and those after authentication. Of course, it is up to the notary the instruments the procedure if he considers that, in addition to those presented, other documents are needed to clarify the situation of a building. We will see that, although this bureaucratic route may seem cumbersome and sometimes even boring, it is important for the safety of the non-contentious civil circuit.
