In recent years, progressive amendments to the “Notary Law” have created opportunities for the provision of notarial services electronically through information and communication technologies.

In order to increase the access of citizens to justice services, as well as to provide them with the opportunity to receive professional legal assistance regardless of time and place, the application "Mobile Notary" has been successfully used since 2019. Through this application, it is possible to issue a number of notarial acts, including the disposition and drive of vehicles, as well as electronic registration of some social and other powers of attorney issued to lawyers.

During the pandemic, the desire of citizens to use e-services has increased the special interest in the mobile application, and now the number of mobile justice services provided to citizens through the "Mobile Notary" with more than 110,000 users exceeds 50,000.

In order to increase the functionality of these innovations, new functions have been added to the application of "Mobile Notary" in the framework of the implementation of the "State Program for the Development of Justice in Azerbaijan for 2019-2023".

Thus, there is an opportunity to terminate powers of attorney for bank operations, as well as letters of consent written by parents of minors to leave the country and other powers of attorney electronically via video recording.

In order to take advantage of the new services, citizens must download the free “Mobile Notary” application from the AppStore and PlayStore. Current users can take advantage by updating the program.

In addition, through the updated “Mobile Notary” application, it is possible to verify the authenticity of notarial documents on the basis of the QR-code placed on it or personal identification number of individual and the identifier (barcode) placed on the document.
