About this statute

This section says who counts as a notary public and requires a notary public to have a higher law degree other than a master's in international and comparative law. A notary public must, on request, perform listed certification and witness duties, and may take certain additional foreign-law related measures so long as they do not conflict with the foundations of Finland’s legal order. Notarius publicus may perform official duties throughout the country; protests are handled under the bill of exchange and cheque laws. Ett intyg utfärdat av notarius publicus ska bekräftas med stämpel, sigill eller annat likvärdigt tillförlitligt sätt. Notarius publicus must keep a protocol for the actions covered by the cited provision and record specific details about each action.
