Article 67 of China's Civil Procedure Law clearly stipulates: "Legal acts, legal facts and documents notarized through legal procedures shall be used by the people's courts as the basis for ascertaining facts".
2. Implementation effect
Refers to the creditor's rights documents that give the notary public the enforcement effect. If the debtor fails to perform, the creditor may directly apply to the people's court with jurisdiction for enforcement with the notarial certificate, without going through litigation procedures. Article 2 18 of China's civil procedure law clearly stipulates this effect of notarization.
3. Elements for the Establishment of Legal Acts When relevant laws, administrative regulations and rules stipulate that certain legal acts can only be established, changed and terminated through notarization, notarization becomes an essential element for the establishment, change and termination of corresponding legal acts. In addition, if the establishment, modification or termination of certain legal acts must be notarized according to international practice or the agreement between the parties, notarization will also become an important element of its establishment.
According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, notarial documents issued by notaries in accordance with legal procedures have the same probative force and enforcement effect. The Provisional Regulations on Notarization and the Rules of Notarization Procedure stipulate that the notary office shall independently handle notarization affairs according to facts and laws, and shall not be illegally interfered by other units or individuals. There is no subordinate relationship between notary offices, and notarial certificates issued according to law within the statutory authority have the same legal effect. In other words, all notary offices, regardless of size or level, are independent legal persons and enjoy the power to independently handle notarization, and the notarial certificates issued according to law have the same legal effect.
