Procedures

The Assignment Procedure contains submission of documents, procedural sequence, conditions for qualification of assignees, list of documents required for initiation of the process and other requirements and information related to the assignment.

Qualification of limited liability companies is based on rules of the tender protocol more recently approved by ANP Collegiate Board and is prior to filing of request. Its consultation is essential for preparation of qualification documents.

In order to assist the preparation of documentation, we inform below the most common non-conformities found in the documents submitted for supporting the assignment procedure:

• lack of proof of the legal representatives’ powers.
• failure to satisfy the conditions for the legal representatives to the exercise their powers (officers’ joint signatures, express authorization of the board of directors, among other).
• unaudited balance sheet.
• non-notarized documents.
• unsigned documents.

Digital files of the assignment procedure and of forms that shall mandatorily be used by those interested in the assignment are available for download on the corresponding page in Portuguese: Procedimento — Português (Brasil) (www.gov.br).

The only file that is in English is the Assignment Procedure Manual (updated in February/2024).
