Three members of the Board were elected at the extraordinary meeting of the members of the Notary Chamber.

The Board of the Notary Chamber consists of the chairman, deputy chairman and 5 members. The notaries elected the chairman, deputy chairman and two members on June 17.

The meeting between the representatives of the Notary Chamber of Georgia and the Banks has been ended with an agreement. Banks are ready to open the nominal accounts for notaries which means that if the deposit account of the notary is sequestered, the amount deposited by the citizen shall not be sequestered or incase shall not be affected. This is an additional guarantee for the protection of citizens' property.

By the initiative of the Minister of Justice, the Notary Chamber has been given the opportunity for the second time to independently elect the chairman. Despite the fact that the Law “On Notary” allows the Minister of Justice to select a candidate of the chairman and nominate him/her to the General Meeting of Notaries, Ms. Tea Tsulukiani refused to solely nominate the candidate as in 2014 and provided that possibility to the notaries to independently elect the Chairman of the Board. As a result of electronic primaries, the notaries gave priority to Ms. Marika Gogoladze for the position of the Chairman of the Chamber. The Minister of Justice presented her to the Meeting for approval.

The mediator notaries were trained to raise their qualifications. The seminar was also attended by newly appointed notaries.

The training was organized by the Training Center of Notary Chamber of Georgia and the EU project “Promotion of Private and Administrative Law Systems in Georgia”.

The final examination of interns wishing to hold office as a notary was held at the Training Center of Notary Chamber of Georgia.
