In brief
In 2024, notification via the electronic mailbox of the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) became mandatory for all legal entities and public administration entities. The purpose of this requirement is to improve efficiency and security in the communication of administrative acts, actions and services provided exclusively by the MTPE.
In this context, on 2 January 2025, Ministerial Resolution No. 209-2024-TR came into force. This resolution publishes complementary provisions to regulate the implementation, access, correct operation and maintenance of the MTPE's Electronic Notification System.
Below, we detail the main obligations, responsibilities and relevant aspects to comply with this regulation.
In depth
1. Obligations
- Mandatory electronic notification: All legal entities and public administration entities must use the MTPE electronic mailbox to receive administrative notifications.
- Affiliation to the electronic mailbox: Legal entities must complete an application form and attach the required documentation, including a certificate of power of attorney.
- Confirmation of receipt: Users must confirm receipt of notifications within five business days.
2. Responsibilities
- Custody of passwords: Legal entities must safeguard their passwords and prevent misuse by third parties.
- Updating data: Users must keep their electronic mailbox data updated and change their passwords periodically.
- Attention to alerts: Users must pay attention to notification alerts sent to their registered email and cell phone number.
3. Relevant information

5. Deadlines and validity of notifications

- Confirmation of notification: The user must confirm receipt within five working days. If they fail to do so, the notification will be considered valid as of the business day following the expiration of this term.
6. Cancellation of the registration

According to Supreme Decree No. 004-2024-TR, the adaptation period is 45 calendar days from the publication of the complementary provisions on 29 December 2024. Therefore, starting from 12 February 2025, registration on the platform will be mandatory to access the electronic mailbox.
