The Ministry of Justice has drafted a new law on notaries

25 feb 2025

Approval of the notary's tariff

The tariff limits will be approved annually by the Ministry of Justice. The regional authorities will determine their amounts with the same frequency, taking into account the socio-economic development of the subject.

Payment of the notary's fee in certain cases

When applying for a certificate of a real estate transaction, a decision of a legal entity, or a certificate of inheritance, the notary will first charge 50% of the tariff. The client will need to deposit the remaining amount upon notarization.

Audio and video recording of notarial actions

The notary will record audio and video evidence of real estate alienation transactions. The notary will be able to record the rest of the actions at his discretion.

Written explanation of the refusal of the notarial act 

The notary will always state the reasons for the refusal in writing and explain the procedure for appealing it. Now it needs to be done at the request of the client.
