Il ne faut pas confondre le notaire du Québec avec le «notary public» des pays de common law, dont les attributions sont différentes [...] L'ensemble des notaires du Québec constitue une corporation professionnelle réglementée, appelée Chambre des Notaires du Québec ou Ordre des Notaires du Québec [...] Bien qu'ordinairement les lois québécoises donnent le terme «notary» comme équivalent anglais au mot «notaire», elles permettent aussi au notaire de recourir au titre de «title attorney», pour accentuer sa fonction d'examinateur de titres immobiliers. 2, record 2, French, - notaire
