The office

The notary as a person of public trust

A notary is appointed to perform acts that the parties are required, or wish, to have notarised. A notarial deed and other documents drawn up by a notary in accordance with the law have the status of official documents. The office of notary Agata Dambek is located in Gdańsk, in the heart of the Old Town (Główne Miasto) on ul. Chlebnicka. Notarial acts are performed in Polish.

A note for international clients

Poland follows the Latin (civil-law) notarial system, so the role of a notary here is wider than in common-law countries. A Polish notary (notariusz) is a public official who, rather than mainly witnessing signatures as a notary public does in England, Wales or the United States, draws up authentic instruments — notarial deeds — that carry full legal effect, and acts impartially in the interest of all parties. Matters are governed by Polish law (the Law on Notaries), not by English or U.S. law, and the scope and required form of individual transactions may therefore differ. Notarial acts are conducted in Polish; where a party does not speak Polish, a sworn translator may be required. This information is provided for general guidance only and is not legal advice.
