Notary in Curacao
What is a notary?
A civil-law notary is an impartial official who is authorized to draw up authentic documents, also called notarial deeds. In these deeds agreements between parties, and the consequences of this, are officially recorded. A notary has been appointed by the king and has taken an official oath. In this oath he swears that he will perform his duties fairly, impartially and accurately, that he will comply with the law as punctually as possible and that he will observe strict confidentiality regarding the contents of the deeds drawn up by him. This legislation is laid down in the Notaries Act and is binding on all members and bodies affiliated with the Royal Dutch Notarial Association (KNB).

Notaries shall draw up documents, in particular in the following areas:
Person-and family law:
- Partnership conditions
