Official source
Monitoring starts with the Judiciary's Unified National Case Lookup and keeps the reference to the case that was checked.
Colombia · court monitoring
Your Colombian court cases, checked every day
Custodio checks the official source, identifies new docket activity and shows what changed with the underlying file behind every update.
The problem
The lookup is free and public. What it does not do is notify you.
The Judiciary's Unified National Case Lookup charges nothing, asks for no account, and returns a case's status from its 23-digit filing number. What it does not do is look for you: if the court registers a docket entry on Monday, it is still sitting there on Friday, just as new and just as unread.
With twenty open cases or a hundred, checking every filing number by hand every day is not sustainable, and the day you skip is the day it matters. Custodio runs that lookup for you, every day, for every case you have registered.
From filing number to a verifiable update
The official lookup remains the source. Custodio organizes its results so reviewing a portfolio does not mean opening every case by hand.
Changes made visible
The update highlights docket entries added since your last review so you know where to focus.
A portfolio, not a browser tab
Cases are organized by matter and client, with owners and dates, instead of being scattered across manual lookups.
AI backed by evidence
Summaries and answers rely on matter documents and docket entries; you can return to the evidence behind them.
How it works
From the Judiciary to your inbox, every day
You register the filing number
Add the case's 23-digit filing number, or import it from a matter you already keep in Custodio.
Daily monitoring
Custodio checks the Unified National Case Lookup every night, at 2:00 a.m. Bogotá time.
It spots what is new
It compares the lookup with the day before and flags only the docket entries that changed, with their date and description.
The AI updates the matter's state
With the new docket entry, Custodio evaluates the whole matter again: where it stands, what the last material change was and what is still pending, with the evidence behind every assertion. And your questions are answered over the matter's documents, citing the one each answer comes from.
Scope
What Custodio watches in Colombia
Every point has a country capability behind it, not a loose promise.
Daily lookup of the Judiciary's Unified National Case Lookup (CPNU), with the 23-digit filing number as the case identifier.
Search by person or business name when you do not have the full filing number yet.
Monitoring of judicial notices and status updates — the edict channel the Judiciary also publishes — in addition to the case-file lookup.
Procedural-deadline computation on the Colombian business-day calendar, with the country's own deadline rules.
Filing-number format validation before it is saved, so a mistyped number is never watched.
Custodio shows what the Judiciary publishes for the case looked up. It does not access sealed files or information the court does not publish.
Price
One plan, no per-case surprises
Judicial monitoring is billed together with the rest of Custodio: there is no separate charge per case watched.

Which source does Custodio check?
The Colombian Judiciary's Unified National Case Lookup. The official source remains authoritative for the case status.
How often are cases checked?
The platform runs scheduled monitoring and presents docket entries added since the last review; availability depends on the judicial source.
Do I need the filing number?
It is the most precise identifier. CPNU also supports searches by person or business name, but a full filing number reduces ambiguous results.
Which law governs the data in my portfolio?
Ley 1581 de 2012. You sign the processing agreement that law requires, your firm’s data stays separate from every other firm’s, and a query or claim arriving through the public channel is handled under the terms the law sets, counted on the Colombian calendar.
Does Custodio also check Tyba?
No. Custodio checks the Judiciary's Unified National Case Lookup. Tyba's public lookup sits behind a reCAPTCHA and is not read automatically today.
Does Custodio compute the case's deadlines?
Yes, on the Colombian business-day calendar and the country's deadline rules. The computation is a monitoring aid and does not replace the case lawyer's own judgment.
