Summary/Abstract: The notaries’ activity in Romania has undergone numerous and significant legislative changes in recent years; most of them have been generated by the need to cope with the imminent globalisation. A quick transition from the classic working tools to the current modern ones (i.e. from typewriter to procedures based on electronic signature) has taken place, aiming mainly at ensuring expeditious procedures and, at the same time, at securing the notary civil circuit and assuring the quality of notary deeds. One of the main factors leading to the globalisation of the notarial activity is the increasing number of cases involving international elements.Currently, there are two major directions of globalisation in the notarial activity: the use of the digital environment and the internationalisation of legal relations; they are both opportunities and causes of the globalisation process. In this context, the national laws in the notary field and the international rules adopted and implemented over the past few years have greatly contributed to the adjustment of the notarial activity in Romania to the fast-paced globalisation in the legal field.
