A Comparative Study on Process of Notaries Appointment (Iranian, American and French Rules)

Although there are various systems of notarizing, generally we have three kinds of notarizing system in the world. Some countries such as France accepted Latin notaries system in which all the notaries should be graduates of law and they should go through a complex process and are required to take a exams in order to obtain a notary license. It may take some years to get this. Other countries like United States confirm public notary system. In this system obtaining a notary license is not so difficult and it is not necessary for applicants to be graduates of law. The third system is the one accepted in Iran and some other countries and it is a combination of two systems. They follow some of the strict procedures of the Latin system, but they do not follow it fully.
