About BC Notaries

The tradition of Notaries goes back over 2000 years — to the dawn of recorded history. Notaries laid down the Codex Hammurabi, the oldest evidence of recorded law.  Notaries were also employed by the Catholic Church to guide the light of civilization through the Dark Ages. The Notary’s reputation for trustworthiness meant that documents retained a stable reliability throughout centuries of upheaval.

BC Notaries are governed by the Notaries Act of BC and the discipline of their professional society. Today, the position of Notary as a member of one of the branches of the legal profession is sanctioned and safeguarded by law. BC Notaries are unique in North America, providing non-contentious legal services to the public.  The Society receives over 1600 application inquiries from the public annually! On average 20 to 25 students per year are selected.

BC Notaries are appointed for life by Royal Decree.  They are trustees and qualified professionals who have earned the public’s confidence through their performance in various specified areas of law.  Because the majority of Notaries concentrate on two areas of law, namely real estate and estate planning, our offices are devoted to and extremely proficient in successful document preparation.  As we do not practice in contentious areas, we can focus our time and energy on our client’s deadlines and priorities.

The professional work of a Notary is covered by an errors and omissions insurance plan, together with a “special fund” administered by the Society that protects the public in the unlikely event of fraud.

The average age of a BC Notary is 43; fifty-five percent are women.  BC’s Notaries reflect many ethnic backgrounds and languages.  Over one-third of BC Notaries are involved in fundraising and social service, over one-third in business associations, and more than thirty percent are active in youth sports and recreation.
