How to become a notary with at least 6 years in a legal specialist role
The Romanian Notarial Institute organises, for the posts approved by an updating order issued by the Minister of Justice, the admission competition for persons with at least 6 years in a legal specialist role, nationally for those registered with all the Chambers of Public Notaries, whenever necessary but at least once every 2 years.
The admission
competition
The admission competition consists of two written papers, one theoretical and one practical, on the competition syllabus. The minimum average pass mark is 7.00, provided that you obtain at least 5.00 in each paper.
Validation of
the results
and stating
your preference
Once you are declared successful in this competition, the UNNPR Council will validate the results, and you will then state your preference for a public notary post, in order of the averages obtained, among the places within the Chamber where you entered the competition and within the limit of the places set out in the updating order issued by the Minister of Justice.
Appointment
to the office
of public
notary
The Minister of Justice will then appoint you as a public notary by order, you will take the oath and you will follow the courses on practical training for practising as a notary and on organising the work of a notarial office, run by the INR for a period set by the Council of the Union, on payment of the relevant fees. You will then be able to take the steps needed to begin practising.
