In 2015, the digital sphere was buzzing with excitement as the first online mentions of National Notary Day began to appear. People all over the web were sharing stories of notaries who had gone above and beyond the call of duty, from saving them from document disasters to being there in times of legal need.
The notary community quickly rallied together, forming online groups, and creating a groundswell of support for our unsung heroes. They believed it was high time that notaries received the recognition they deserved, and National Notary Day was born.
Since then, every November 7th, people have been taking a moment to appreciate the notaries in their lives and acknowledge the vital role they play in keeping our legal system running smoothly.
The term 'notary' can be traced back to the Roman Empire. In 79 AD, during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, the term 'notarius' was used to refer to a secretary or clerk who recorded legal proceedings and drafted official documents for the government.
During the 9th century, European monarchs began appointing notaries to oversee various legal matters. These notaries acted as public officials authorized to authenticate and certify important documents, like contracts, wills, and land transactions. The role of notaries expanded to include the administration of oaths and the handling of legal disputes.
In the 12th century, guilds and professional associations were established to regulate the practice of notaries. These organizations ensured that notaries upheld ethical standards, received proper training, and maintained professionalism. The guilds also played a crucial role in spreading the practice of notaryship throughout Europe.
In 1533, during the reign of King Francis I of France, a significant milestone in the history of notaries occurred. France adopted the 'Ordinance de Moulins,' which standardized notary practices and codified civil law. This marked the beginning of the modern notary system, with notaries playing a vital role in the French legal system.
In the 20th century, notaries continued to evolve and adapt to changes in society. Their responsibilities expanded beyond traditional document authentication to include mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Today, notaries play a crucial role in ensuring the authenticity and legality of various legal transactions, supporting both individuals and businesses in navigating the complexities of the legal system.
