Message of the President of the National Union of Civil-law notaries of Romania.


    We believe that our institution can be perceived as one big family. A strong and dignified family, with many friends both in the country and abroad, with achievements in the years that passed and hope for the years to come. We would like to be united by the same trust in the future, which has accompanied us since the early evolution of our professional existence and to be convinced that all these years we have managed and hopefully we can still teach the future generations a liberal profession. We owe them this, especially since many of our younger colleagues have brought tremendous joy to their parents by choosing the same career, as a notary. The entire activity of public notaries, as in its structures and professional representation is put in service to individuals and legal entities in order to ensure the exercise of rights and protecting their interests. We enjoy the confidence of our citizens and we are happy that our advice mattered into guaranteeing the requested judicial activity, in defending the security and the confidentiality of the concluded notarial acts.
