liberal professions are professions which require a high level of training and which are implemented personally, independently and with full personal liability. Strict educational and professional standards are characteristic of liberal professions to ensure the quality of services.
Practitioners of liberal professions are not considered entrepreneurs. Regardless of the fact that a notary as a representative of a liberal profession practices a special type of gainful activity, he or she is not a sole trader. For taxation purposes, liberal professions are equal to all other persons pursuing activities whose income is included in personal income tax.

The main task of notaries is drawing up public deeds, which include notarial records, notarial minutes and notarial certificates. A public deed drawn up by a notary proves the authenticity of what it determines or confirms. At the request of a client, notaries are also authorised to draw up private deeds and represent clients in non-contentious proceedings before courts and in unquestionable cases before other state authorities if cases are directly related to a notarial deed drawn up by a notary.
A notary as an impartial and objective legal adviser gives conscientious and fair advice to all participants in a legal transaction on the right way to attain their goals. A notary must protect confidential information on persons, facts and legal relationships as a secret.
A notary may be a person who is appointed to a vacant notarial post by the minister responsible for justice and is entered in the List of Notaries with the Chamber of Notaries of Slovenia.
