Editing Notary public (section)

===India===
The central government appoints notaries for the whole or any part of the country. State governments, too, appoint notaries for the whole or any part of the states. On an application being made, any person who had been practicing as a Lawyer for at least ten years is eligible to be appointed a notary. The applicant, if not a legal practitioner, should be a member of the Indian Legal Service or have held an office under the central or state government, requiring special knowledge of law, after enrollment as an advocate or held an office in the department of Judge, Advocate-General or in the armed forces.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lawmin.nic.in/la/subord/notaryrules.htm|title=THE NOTARIES RULES, 1956|access-date=14 June 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160627192902/http://lawmin.nic.in/la/subord/notaryrules.htm|archive-date=27 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.in/iw/2003/06/22/stories/2003062200321400.htm|title=The Hindu Business Line : Notes on the notary|access-date=14 June 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730064705/http://www.thehindubusinessline.in/iw/2003/06/22/stories/2003062200321400.htm|archive-date=30 July 2013}}</ref>
