Anti-Money Laundering Measures
The Code of Conduct for Notaries Public in Ireland obliges Notaries, as a matter of good practice, to establish the identity of all persons appearing before them to conduct notarial business. This duty is made a statutory obligation for Solicitors and Notaries under legislation enacted to outlaw money-laundering and the financing of terrorism. Furthermore, measures to prevent money-laundering and report suspicious transactions are imposed under the Criminal Justice Act 1994 and EU Directives 91/308/EC 2001/97/EC and 2005/60/EC.

The Notary Public Profession
Notary Public Notaries Public in Dublin notary public (or notary or public notary) in the common law world is a public officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and international business. A notary's main functions are to administer oaths and affirmations, take affidavits and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate the execution of certain classes of documents, take acknowledgements of deeds and other conveyances, protest notes and bills of exchange, provide notice of foreign drafts, prepare marine or ship's protests in cases of damage, provide exemplifications and notarial copies, and perform certain other official acts depending on the jurisdiction.[1] Any such act is known as a notarisation. The term notary public only refers to common-law notaries and should not be confused with civil-law notaries.

Understanding the document

It is the persons own responsibility to ensure that they understand the document they intend to sign before a Notary. It is not a Notary's duty, to ensure, that the person can understand the document, but it is usual, for the Notary to ask for and be given an assurance from the person, that they understand the document.

If the document is a highly technical document, such as a building agreement or a Power of Attorney or is in a language, that the person does not understand, it is the duty of that person to have the document explained beforehand to them by somebody competent to do so. It is not the duty of the Notary, to explain the document to the person.

It is important, that any person signing legal documents takes legal advice before going to the Notary. The Notary is normally only concerned with verification of identity, name, address and signature and the ability in a general way to understand the document.

Foreign Language documents

The Notary does not need to understand the foreign language in which the document is written. The Notary however will seek an assurance from the person signing the document, that they understand the document and if the Notary is so satisfied, he will stamp the foreign language document with a statement to the following effect "the notarial act is limited to the verification of the identity, legal capacity, name and signature of the appearer unless otherwise expressly stated in the English language".

 

Dublin Solicitors, Notary Public and Commissioner of Oaths Notaries public (also called "notaries", "notarial officers", or "public notaries") hold an office which can trace its origins back to the ancient Roman Republic, before Cicero 106-43 B.C., when they were called scribae ("scribes"), tabellius ("writer"), or notarius ("notary"). They are easily the oldest continuing branch of the legal profession worldwide.[citation needed]
