Also means
duly
Usage Note
Debidamente stresses that something was done as required or owed — closer to 'duly' or 'as it should be' than to 'correctly' (correctamente). It frequently appears in administrative, legal, and formal registers: debidamente firmado (duly signed). Learners should avoid using it in casual speech, where bien or como se debe sound more natural.
Examples
"El documento fue debidamente firmado por ambas partes."
Natural Translation
The document was duly signed by both parties.
