Legal software for several Latin American countries
Custodio Legal operates in seven countries today, each behind its own plugin. This page explains what that means and why it isn't the same promise repeated seven times.
"Software for several countries" sounds like one promise repeated in different languages. That's not how Custodio Legal is built, and it's worth stating why before you compare it to anything else.
One plugin per country, not a generic promise
Each of the seven countries Custodio offers today — Colombia, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil — runs behind its own country plugin. A plugin declares which capabilities it supports: whether it checks a judicial portal, computes procedural deadlines, watches publications, or holds a reference exchange rate. What a plugin doesn't declare, the platform doesn't promise there, even if it does it somewhere else.
That's the difference between operating in several countries and selling the same capability seven times with the flag swapped out.
The seven countries, each with its own coverage
- Colombia watches the Consulta de Procesos Nacional Unificada and the Rama Judicial's procedural publications.
- Ecuador checks the eSATJE daily, with no separate publications channel — a case's status lives inside that same lookup.
- The Dominican Republic publishes no edicts: the only thing its Judiciary makes public is the Rol Nacional de Audiencias, and that's what Custodio watches there.
- Costa Rica adds the Boletín Judicial inside La Gaceta to the case lookup, and is the only one of the seven with the Colegio de Abogados roll read.
- Uruguay reaches criminal matters only through the Consulta de Audiencias, not the IUE case lookup.
- Argentina covers four of twenty-four jurisdictions — the City of Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Mendoza and Salta —, not the whole country.
- Brazil watches the courts that publish over e-SAJ, measured at the Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, and the DJEN's comunicações by the CNJ number of the cases you follow; it does not query DataJud.
Each of these seven lines has its own guide, with the official source cited.
A price published for each country
Custodio publishes each country's price without asking you to log in. In Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Uruguay and Brazil you are charged in the country's own currency, at the figure you see and with no conversion in between. In Ecuador, whose currency is the US dollar, and in Argentina the charge is in US dollars; in Argentina an informative reference in pesos shows under the price, and it doesn't change the billing currency.

Frequently asked questions about operating in several countries
Does Custodio do the same thing in all seven countries?
No. Each country has its own plugin, and what that plugin declares it supports is the only thing the platform promises there. What Custodio covers in Brazil isn't the same as what it covers in Uruguay, and each country guide states it, with its source.
What currency is billed in across the seven countries?
In five of them, in the country's own currency — Colombian pesos, Dominican pesos, colones, Uruguayan pesos and reais — at the published figure and with no conversion. In Ecuador, whose currency is the US dollar, and in Argentina, the charge is in US dollars.
What happens if my country isn't on the list?
It isn't offered there yet. The platform is built to grow country by country, each with its own plugin and its own verified capabilities before it's offered — a country isn't switched on without first reading its official sources.
