AI Search for Notarial Archives & Deeds | Arhivix
For Notaries & Notarial Chambers

Decades of notarial deeds, searchable in seconds.
AI overlay for Urkundenarchiv, SIGNO, MICEN and Notartel.

Notaries across the EU are obliged to preserve deeds for 75 to 100 years. Mandatory electronic archives like the German Urkundenarchiv, ANCERT's SIGNO in Spain, France's MICEN and Italy's Notartel already exist, but none give you semantic AI search across the protocol. Arhivix is the missing brain on top, eIDAS 2.0 qualified preservation ready and EU hosted.

Decades of paper protocols, physically untouchable

Statutory retention of 75 to 100 years means metres of bound minute books in the office and the district archive. Today, retrieving a single deed often means a half day of physical search.

Mandatory electronic archives without an AI layer

The Urkundenarchiv, SIGNO, MICEN and Notartel are excellent records repositories, but they were not built for semantic search, summarization or cross-deed analysis. Notaries and clerks still browse by reference number.

6AMLD gatekeeper duties, GDPR Article 30 ROPA evidence and supervisor requests all demand cross-archive searches by entity, beneficial owner or transaction. There is no single button.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to the most common questions

No. The official electronic archive remains the legal source of truth. Arhivix sits above it, indexes the deeds (and any scanned legacy protocol you ingest), and provides semantic search, summarization and AML / DSAR evidence collection.

Yes. We work directly with chambers and their IT operators (such as ANCERT, Notartel, ADSN or the Bundesnotarkammer's IT arm) on whitelabel and OEM deployments of the AI overlay across the national archive. EU hosted, ISO 27001 and NIST aligned, eIDAS 2.0 qualified preservation ready.

Your documents are stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure. Specifically, we use two separate S3 storage locations in two different European regions. This means that even in the event of technical issues in one region, your documents remain safe and accessible in the other. Everything is automatically encrypted.

Not without going through the access controls you set. Every file is encrypted at rest and in transit, and authorization is enforced on every request. For each user in your company, you can set individual permissions: who can view, edit, or download each document. No engineer at Arhivix has standing access to your files, and any internal access required for support or incident response is explicitly authorized and logged in an audit trail.

Arhivix automatically indexes every document you upload. Our AI system reads and understands the content of your documents, so you can search using natural language. For example, you can type "Find my phone bill from April" and the system will locate the exact document. No manual searching, no wasted time.

Not at all. Arhivix is designed to be simple for everyone. A document is archived in three steps, search works like a conversation with an assistant, and the entire system is intuitive. If you ever need help, we are here 24/7.
