# Circulation of authentic instruments: Article 59

This part concernsarticle 59

The Regulation facilitates the circulation and mutual recognition of authentic instruments on the territory of the participating Member States.

An authentic instrument established in one Member State therefore has the same evidentiary effects or produces the most comparable evidentiary effects in the other Member States.

A person wishing to use an authentic instrument in another Member State must apply to the authority that established the instrument in the State of origin to fill out Form II provided by Implementing regulation EU n°1329/2014 of 9 December 2014.

This form provides assurance that the circulating instrument is indeed an authentic instrument in its State of origin and describes its evidentiary effect.

## Warning

Section 4 of the form serves to prevent difficulties relating to the circulation of authentic instruments established by notaries whose jurisdiction is limited to the authentication of signatures and documents, as in Finland or Sweden.
