Panama Maritime Authority
By means of Administrative Resolution No. 059-2020 of April 22, 2020, the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) authorizes the electronic filing of:
- Public Deeds containing acts or contracts of property title and/or liens on vessels.
- Preliminary registrations of property titles and/or liens on vessels.
It has also enabled the electronic issuance of Certificates of Ownership and Liens and certified copies and/or copy stamp of documents that are registered therein.
The digital procedures of the AMP must be validated by a qualified electronic signature, in those cases where this has been established.
Stay Safe!!
they should take this to a permanent change and Panama could move out of the 3rd world processes involving paperwork that they just lose anyway and go for a 1st world digital system.
