Abstract

Abstract. Notary is a public official, a profession that is very important to help provide legal certainty to the community, a job that was born because it was needed by the community, not a job that was created intentionally and then known by the community. By definition, a notary is a public official, but he is not an employee according to the law or civil service regulations. Notaries do not receive a salary or pension from the government, but notaries only receive an honorarium as a tribute to their services or can provide free services to those who are unable.
