Ubushakashatsi bwakozwe n’Inteko ishinga amategeko y’ibihugu by’Uburayi mu nyandiko yiswe “Étude comparative sur les actes authentiques”, batanze igisobanuro cy’inyandiko mpamo nk’inyandiko ikorwa n’umukozi wa Leta cyangwa undi muntu wese wabiherewe ububasha na Leta, iyo nyandiko igakorwa mu buryo buteganyijwe, uwayikoze akaba yemeza ko abayishyizeho umukono aribo ko kandi n’ibiyikubiyemo ari byo (un acte authentique est un instrument établi par une autorité publique ou toute autre autorité habilitée à ce faire par l’État membre d’origine, - dressé dans la forme requise, - qui authentifie la signature et le contenu de l'acte authentique)[4].

[30]           Ku birebana n’icyo gisobanuro kandi, mu rubanza rwaciwe n’uru Rukiko haburana MUHIMA Giovanni na Ngizweninshuti Albert, Urukiko rwasanze inyandiko mpamo ari inyandiko yujuje ibi bikurikira:

Muri ayo makuru harimo kuba muri ayo masezerano hagomba kugaragaramo ko hishyuwe amafaranga y’ihererekanyamutungo, gitansi yayo ikayomekwaho. Harimo kandi amagambo yuzuzwa na Noteri w’ubutaka ahamya ibikubiye mu masezerano, mbere yo kuyashyiraho umukono.
