Talhouni explained that the new regulation includes a reduction in fees for transactions conducted through electronic notary public services. This move is designed to encourage citizens to adopt digital services, while the standard fees will remain unchanged for those who choose to visit the notary public in person.
Key Benefits of Digital Transition:
Significant Discounts: Fee reductions for digital services range between 25% and 40% in certain cases.
Cost Efficiency: The lower costs are attributed to savings in operational expenses, such as paper, ink, building maintenance, and energy consumption.
Citizen Convenience: Digital services aim to reduce overcrowding at government offices while speeding up and simplifying the process for the public.
Legal and Strategic Context
The regulation will take effect upon its publication in the Official Gazette. These measures are part of the broader implementation of the Notary Public Law, which permits the use of electronic means and audio-visual communication systems for notary functions.
The project supports the national digital transformation strategy by:
Enabling electronic fee collection and offering incentives for digital payments.
Linking notary services with relevant government systems to accelerate transaction processing.
Modernizing judicial services to align with economic and legislative developments while ensuring the sustainability of financial resources.
