Latin notaries

Latin notaries are officials authorized to draft, authenticate, and certify legal documents according to the formal language and procedures of historical Latin legal tradition. Historically prominent in medieval and early modern Europe, they ensured documents' legality, clarity, and authenticity through precise language and formal rituals. Today, while their traditional roles are less common, the term often refers to notaries practicing in regions influenced by Latin legal traditions, such as certain European countries, where they continue to perform functions like verifying identities, witnessing signatures, and certifying documents with formal legal authority.
