The path to becoming a notary

After notarial training and the exam, people usually work as assistant notaries. On your CV show the acts you prepare and your time standing in.

Add the areas of law you feel most confident in. Offices look for assistants who can prepare more difficult deeds on their own.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

An office in a big city looks for property transactions and work with developers, an office in a smaller town for family and inheritance matters, and a partner for organising the office. Move to the top what the job ad is about.
