About this statute

This provision says the law sets out how the office of notary is organized and how it operates. This article defines key terms used in the law, including notarized deed, notarized document, authentic deed, Ministry, Minister, authenticated signature, notary, and person. This article lists the categories of people who may act as notaries and gives the Minister power to set the number of notaries per office and to designate additional civil servants with notarial powers. A person may practice as a notary only if they meet the listed qualification conditions. A notary may not hold certain judicial or public offices, and may only take another public or private office if the Minister empowers them to do so.
