It is mandatory to hire a notary to perform the registration process in The Netherlands. Before the notarial deed is executed, the Dutch civil law notary involved has to undertake a notarial title search at the Land Registry Office. Civil law notaries can consult the land register of the Land Registry Office by an on-line system, called the Automatic Cadastral Registration (AKR). They can conduct online research for deeds and other registered documents from 1998 onward. Older deeds and documents are scanned on demand and are sent immediately by email. The public notary executes the transfer deed online.
The authorized persons either have to appear before the notary or must have granted power of attorney. Registration tax and transfer tax are paid to the notary, who pays the tax authorities after registration.
