The Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic has prepared a draft order that will change the procedure for regulating notary activities in the country. The document has already been posted on the unified portal for public discussion of draft normative legal acts.
What exactly will change
The proposed amendments concern several key areas of the notary institute's work. In particular, the changes will affect:
- inspection of the professional activities of state and private notaries
- licensing of private notary practice
- operation of the unified notary information system
- activities of the qualification commission
- the internship process for future notaries
- maintenance of the register of private notary assistants
Reasons for the revision
According to the Ministry of Justice, the revision of the documents is caused by the need to delimit the department's powers. Some current acts were approved based on powers delegated by the Cabinet of Ministers, while others must be adopted directly based on the Law "On Notaries."
The department emphasized that these measures do not mean the cancellation of current requirements or the cessation of regulation. Instead, the relevant procedures will be approved by new separate acts of the Ministry of Justice, relying on powers expressly provided by law. In essence, the changes are of a legal-technical nature.
