The position of the notary is among the significant and regulatory roles in legitimizing legal actions undertaken by individuals in various economic, industrial, social, financial, legal, etc. Additionally, it constitutes one of the fundamental guarantees in protecting numerous rights and duties of individuals and administration simultaneously. The notary is a state employee (permanent staff) of the state, holding an undergraduate degree in law. Pursuant to the Notary Public Law No. (33) of the year 1998, he is assigned the position of managing the Notary Public Department upon successful completion of a training course lasting no less than three months at the Judicial Institute. Subsequently, he exercises the authorities and tasks sanctioned by the effective Notary Public Law. Therefore, the position of the notary requires legislative intervention to enact a new law aligned with the current stage and developments witnessed in life across various fields starting with the appointment of the notary and the process of preparing them professionally and objectively, extending to the powers vested in the notary. There must be a balance between the tasks and duties entrusted to the notary and the rights and privileges granted to them, ensuring a dignified life for this category of employees that corresponds to the importance and risk of the tasks they perform
