The first stage of qualifying examination of notaries started

Two-stage testing will be held at the Training Center of the Justice of Georgia: November 30 -December 1 - testing in basic skills, December 7-8 - professional testing.

Passing the qualifying examination of notaries is one of the necessary conditions to occupy the position of a Notary.

Under the Order of the Minister of Justice of Georgia, the Notaries must be appointed in the areas where the notary service is not available:

Terjola, Vani, Adigeni, Aspindza - these municipalities are still without a notary;

Martvili, Lanchkhuti, Chiatura, Kaspi, Dusheti, Tetritskaro, Akhmeta, Sagarejo, Kvareli, Signagi - notary services are not properly available in these municipalities. The notary will be also appointed in the village Kachreti.

The notary reform started in December 2015 at the initiative of the Minister of Justice of Georgia continues successfully. In 2016, the notaries were appointed in 16 municipalities.

Kareli, Keda, Tskaltubo, Ambrolauri, Sartichala, Lentexi, Tsalka, Borjomi, Dedoplistskaro, Mestia, Tsageri, Akhalkalaki, Ninotsminda, Tianeti, Oni, Bakuriani - these are the settlements where the notary offices failed to operate or the notary services were not properly available over the years. The population had to go to the nearest cities to be provided the notary services.

The Notaries will serve the population of the settlements for three years, after which they are permitted to continue their activities in a desired city or municipality.

Instead, the Notary Chamber of Georgia will provide the financial and material support to the newly appointed notaries; In addition, a notary candidate being appointed in the municipality will be refunded the paid fee for the participation in the qualifying examination by the Notary Chamber.
