history
With some significant changes, the laws of Tsarist Russia applied to the notary's office in Estonia until the occupation of the Estonian Republic in 1940. On the basis of the above-mentioned law, the Minister of Justice issued an ordinance on April 11, 1919 - Instructions for notaries, with the one in Estonia 39 notary posts were created. In 1940 there were already 48 notary offices in Estonia. In Estonia from 1918 to 1940, the Latin model of the notary was in use: the notaries were civil servants in the Ministry of Justice, but they were not paid from the state treasury and were liable with all their property. A deposit was provided to compensate for the damage incurred. Failure to pay this could remove the notary from office.
The Chamber of Notaries began its work on November 1, 1993 when the Notaries Act came into force.
The Chamber of Notaries of the Republic of Estonia has been a member of the International Union of Latin Notaries ( UINL ) since 1995 .
