Notary is a profession for someone who has completed legal education who is licensed by the government to do legal matters, especially as a witness for the signing of a document. The form of a notary’s profession also varies depending on the legal system. Notary work existed in the 2-3th century ancient Roman era, at which time it was known as tabellius, scribae, or notary whose task was to record a speech.
The term notary is taken from the name of the servant, notarius, which later became a title for a fast writer or stenographer. Notary is one of the oldest branches of the legal profession in the world. Notaries are not placed in the executive, legislative and judiciary institutions. Notaries are expected to have a neutral position, so that notaries can provide legal counseling and legal action at the request of their clients. In carrying out these actions and legal counseling, notaries must also not side with their clients, because of the neutral position and true duty of a notary to prevent problems.
