Summary/Abstract: Split notary public chamber included notary publics from the area ranging from Obrovac to Budva and to Imotski in the hinterland. Few archival documents about this institution are today kept in the Split state archives and they include one register of notary publics and two reisters of of notary public trainees. Analysing these documents the author gives information about education and career of notary publics. Most of them graduated at the Law faculty in Zagreb. Durin Austro-Hungarian Empire some also attented Law faculty in Graz. After the establishmet of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (Yugoslavia) some also gained university education in Belgrade. The average age of graduated students was 25.6 years and their grades were lower in comparison with present day standards. Notary publics were appointed by the minister of justice. The author analyses their carrers and concludes that younger notary publics first served in smaller towns and later moved to bigger towns or those nearer to their place of birth. The majority of notary public trainees served in Šibenik and Split, and notary public in smaller towns rarely had trainees.
