What do notaries do?
Notaries prepare and authenticate property transfers, wills, prenuptial agreements and company statutes for home buyers, families settling an estate and founders of companies. In much of continental Europe they hold a public office and are required by law for these deeds, while in common law systems the role is narrower and often taken on by lawyers.
Our data comes from the business registers of 27 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for notaries: they sit in SIC code 8111 (legal services), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for notaries. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 21,665 of them (100%) sit in class 69.10 (legal activities), part of division 69 (legal and accounting activities).
