The Ministry of Justice proposes to amend the Code of Violations, the Law "On Licensing and Permitting System in the Kyrgyz Republic" and the Law "On Notaries".

The draft law was developed in order to eliminate conflicts in the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On the Licensing and Permitting System in the Kyrgyz Republic", to bring the norms of this law in line with the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Notaries", as well as to reform notarial activities to ensure the protection of rights and legal interests of citizens, improving the quality of notarial services to the population, strengthening public confidence in the notary, improving its image.

The bill introduces a norm on the professional ethics of notaries and responsibility for violation of its norms. It is envisaged to establish an age limit for persons wishing to engage in this activity, from 25 to 70 years.

The proposed bill also expands the range of restrictions for engaging in notarial activities.

With the adoption of the law, it will also be necessary to develop a number of normative legal acts to streamline notarial activities.
