Notarkammer Baden Württemberg

What Notarkammer Baden Württemberg does

NotarNet GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bundesnotarkammer (Federal Chamber of Notaries), a government-state entity that serves as the central professional body for notaries in Germany. Headquartered in Cologne, the company provides digital software solutions exclusively for German notaries, covering the full workflow from client intake through electronic submission to courts, land registries, commercial registers, and tax authorities. Its core products are XNotar (the standard for electronic legal traffic, sold by subscription at €130/month), XNP (a free base application provided to all notaries covering document and custody registries, online procedures, and user/card management), the Mandantenportal (a €89/month client portal with ChatGPT integration for AI-assisted text formulation), beN (a special secure electronic notary mailbox), and eNoVA (the electronic notary-administration exchange for property contract execution).

The platform is delivered as a centralized cloud service running exclusively in certified EU-based data centers operated by Rockenstein AG, with technical implementation by Goldland Media GmbH. NotarNet distributes its software via the Bundesnotarkammer's web shop (ssp.bnotk.de), the BNotK IT-Newsletter, online help documentation, and toll-free phone/email support. Marketing and onboarding are conducted primarily through digital channels (website, FAQ, online Schulungen) and through the institutional reach of the regional Notarkammern.

The business model is subscription-based for licensed modules (XNotar, Mandantenportal) while XNP is provided free of charge to all notaries as mandated infrastructure. Revenue is generated from a captive, regulated customer base (all German notaries) with additional income from value-added modules such as GWG anti-money-laundering tools, qeS-Beglaubigung, and Transparenzregister access. In October 2025, NotarNet divested its NotarnetzPlus product line to NNplus GmbH to refocus on its mandated core. The company's growth is closely tied to German regulatory milestones, most notably the eNoVA-Gesetz (published June 26, 2026), which mandates electronic transmission for disposal notifications, committee notifications, and court approvals starting October 1, 2026.
