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:

1. Public Deeds containing acts or contracts of property title and/or liens on vessels.
2. 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.
