Identification of natural person clients in notarial procedures

Abstract

The study entitled ‘Identification of natural person clients in notarial procedures’ provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of client identification in notarial activities; referring, for example, to the introduction of the ‘Verification Ticket’ in 1876 or the introduction of the identity card in 1954, which contributed to the development of the current regulatory system. The study explains, among other things, the provisions of Act XLI of 1991 on Notaries (Kjtv.), in particular the provisions of Section 122 on client identification, the legal regulatory background of the Data Reporting Framework Strengthening the Security of Legal Transactions (JÜB), and the opportunities provided by the 2023 Digital Citizenship Programme (DÁP) and the eIDAS Regulation, which will fundamentally transform the practice of client identification.
