According to the Society of Notaries Public of BC website, “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.”

In BC, Notaries are governed by the Notaries Act of BC and are unique as they sanctioned by law to provide non-contentious legal services to the general public.
