The Notaries Society, the representative society for all general Notaries Public practising in England and Wales and which was founded in 1882. It plays a major role in representing the Notary Public profession and supports their education and continuing professional development.
The Society also takes an active role in reviewing, or participates in consultations concerning new or proposed legislation, which may have an impact on the notary public profession.
The Society is in regular communication with Legalisation department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to whom it represents the interests of notaries public.
They represent the notary public profession of England and Wales abroad and is involved in communicating with the representative bodies of notaries public in foreign jurisdictions and maintains contact with the other notaries in the rest of the United Kingdom and Ireland through membership of the United Kingdom and Ireland Notarial Forum.
In relation to communication with foreign notaries public of overseas jurisdictions, the Notaries Society was a founder member of the World Organisation of Notaries (W.O.N.), and also holds observer status with the International Union of Latin Notaries and is continually involved in communications with other foreign notarial associations.
Although the representative bodies of notaries in different countries will have different traditions they will all share the common goal of maintaining the high professional standards and reputation of notaries public throughout the world.
Membership of the Society is for General Notaries Public practising in England and Wales although associate membership is open to notaries public practising overseas.
