Latvia – Innovation in the notarial and documentary services

Latvia becomes the first in Europe to offer online notary services.



As of 1 July 2018, the Latvian Sworn Notaries offer online advice and remote notarial services to strengthen the effectiveness and availability of procedures for amendments to the Notary Public Act. The innovation in the services of Sworn Notaries will be of interest to our clients and HD Forest.

One of the changes is the possibility of clients’ online consultation at virtual offices, making it possible to handle various notarial activities without having to visit an official in person. This means that companies more quickly can issue a power of attorney related to remote notarial services – including real estate transactions, as well as the drafting and signing of contracts. The fees are the same, as if you showed up in person.
