The document describes the Mercantile Registry as the institution that registers and publicizes commercial acts and contracts. Its origins lie in the medieval guilds that kept records of their members. In Guatemala, the Mercantile Registry was created in 1971 as part of the new Commercial Code and has since evolved towards electronic technology. Following principles such as registration, publicity, and public faith, the Registry provides legal certainty to commercial transactions.
