The usual functions of the Onomastics Commission are to attend to queries and tasks that arrive through the Onomastics Service, often in the form of reports. A large number of queries come from institutions (mainly about toponymy) and many others from citizens (especially personal names and surnames). These tasks occupy an important part of the activity (and dedication) of the commission. Many of these queries cannot be foreseen, but when they are received, the response time must be short and this dynamic work determines the organization of the commission's work.
In addition, the Onomastics Commission has specific functions in the area of Basque anthroponymy and toponymy, both included in the nature of the commission and required by some entity outside of it, although these tasks are much more standard.
