Welcome to Berlin
Dear Members of the General Council,
Dear Members of the Steering Committee,
Dear Presidents,
Dear colleagues and friends,
It is a great pleasure and honour for me to invite you to Berlin for the next UINL institutional meetings from 28 September to 1 October 2025 as well as the 31st World Congress of the International Union of Notaries from 2 to 4 October 2025. As a city where history and modernity intertwine in every corner, renowned for its rich past and dynamic present, Berlin creates a unique setting for reflection and innovation and therefore provides the perfect atmosphere for this special occasion.
The 31st World Congress offers a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate, exchange insights and experiences, engage in meaningful discussions and reflect on both past achievements and future challenges. Furthermore, you will have the chance to explore the vibrant city of Berlin, from its rich history and iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and remnants of the Berlin Wall, to its diverse cuisine and thriving art and cultural scene.
This event will be held under the guiding theme: "THE NOTARIAL PROFESSION ON THE MOVE | New Technologies – New Roles". Participants from all over the world may look forward to exciting topics and in particular to an intensive professional exchange on the two sub-themes "New Tools - New Frontiers" as well as "Non-contentious proceedings: new roles at the service of the public".
I look forward to welcoming you in Berlin.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Markus Sikora
President of the German Federal Chamber of Notaries

We look forward to
seeing you in Berlin!

About the UINL
The International Union of Notaries (U.I.N.L.) is the international umbrella association for notarial professional organisations of the Latin type notarial system. It was founded in 1948 at the First International Congress held of the Latin Notariat in Buenos Aires and currently has 92 member notariats on four continents.
The Latin type notarial system is an essential element of civil law legal systems around the world. It has its origins in Roman civil law and is characterised by the notary as neutral and independent holder of a public office in the field of preventive administration of justice. As such, the notary serves the interests of citizens and companies as well as society at large.
The U.I.N.L. aims to promote the fundamental principles and added-values of the Latin type notarial system at an international level. It enables and fosters the cooperation of and the exchange between notaries worldwide and thereby strengthens the profession. It also serves to voice its members common positions when dealing with international organisations, such as the OECD, the World Bank or the United Nations.
