Module 2
The documents and the acts: deeds, signatures, oaths, copies, translations and documents for use abroad
Ask ten notaries what they do all day, and the answers will differ widely: one draws up deeds for a family buying a flat, another certifies copies of diplomas for people going abroad, a third attends the signing of a power of attorney in a hospital, a fourth prepares company documents for a foreign investor. The range of acts is wide, but the structure underneath is the same. This module lists the main acts, takes you through the steps of a notarial act and then follows the journey that many documents take when they have to be used in another country, where the question ‘what do I need to do after the notary?’ confuses a great many people. The Document Route Planner in the labs shows the order of steps. As always, the acts that a notary may perform, and the rules for documents used abroad, differ by country.

See what is included in All-Access →General education on the work of a notary across legal systems, using invented people, offices and cases. It is not legal or career advice. The acts a notary may perform, the form of certificates and deeds, the checks required, the reporting duties, the rules for documents used abroad and the routes into the profession differ between countries and change: check the rules that apply to you with the notarial authority and the profession.
