Izba Notarialna

What Izba Notarialna does

Izba Notarialna w Warszawie (Warsaw Notarial Chamber) is the largest notarial chamber in Poland, established in 1991 and operating as a professional self-governing body (samorzad notarialny) under the Act of 14 February 1991 on Notaries and Article 17 of the Polish Constitution. The Chamber coordinates 743 notaries operating across 506 notarial offices in Warsaw and surrounding cities in the north-western and central Masovian Voivodeship, within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. It is one of 11 notarial chambers in Poland, sitting alongside the National Notarial Council (Krajowa Rada Notarialna). The Chamber has 17 administrative staff at its headquarters at ul. Karwińska 3, Warsaw, and serves citizens and businesses requiring notarial services for property transactions, inheritance, matrimonial property regimes, company law, and succession management.

The Chamber's core technical assets are the national notarial registers operated through the Rejestry Notarialne platform, which integrates with the National Court Register (KRS), land and mortgage registers, CEIDG, and the National e-Invoice System (KSeF). Sub-registers include the Inheritance Register, Notarial Will Register (NORT), Central Repository of Electronic Copies of Notarial Deeds, Register of Succession Managers, and Register of Simple Joint-Stock Company Shareholders. The Chamber delivers a four-year Aplikacja Notarialna training program, conducts notary examinations, and runs public education initiatives including Legal Education Day, Open Notary Day, and the 'Zapytaj Notariusza' videocast co-produced with Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

The Chamber is not a commercial enterprise and does not generate revenue for external reporting. Its operating budget is funded by mandatory contributions from its member notaries. Notarial fees (taksa notarialna) are statutorily regulated by the Minister of Justice under the 28 June 2004 regulation and have remained essentially unchanged for over 20 years. The Chamber's go-to-market is relationship-based and educational rather than commercial: It uses its website, social channels, press publications, university partnerships, and community events to inform citizens and law students about notarial services. Customers are not acquired in the conventional sense — mandatory notarial deed requirements for property, family, and certain commercial transactions drive usage statutorily.
