XNotar is the specialist notarial software that has enabled notaries to participate in mandatory electronic legal transactions in the commercial register area since 2007, supplemented by electronic land register applications in various federal states from 2012. 2021 saw a switch to the new XNP platform.
XNotar is a customer-specific specialist application development on behalf of NotarNet GmbH, which encompassed all stages of software development from design and development to maintenance and support.
XNotar was used nationwide for the following tasks in the notary’s office:
- Preparation and transmission of electronic applications for entry in the commercial, cooperative, association and partnership registers
- Registration of health care proxies in the central register of health care proxies
- Creation and transmission of electronic applications for entry in the land register in various federal states
- Other EGVP messaging, e.g. with the Federal Chamber of Notaries
XNotar as part of electronic legal transactions
XNotar has various interfaces to the outside world, to notarial software, to the SigNotar/SecSigner signature component, to the ZVR central register of precautionary measures and via EGVP to the specialist procedures for register applications and the land register. The XJustice standard for data exchange is used specifically for each specialist module.
The end of life was reached in 2021 after 14 years. The functionality is now available on the XNP platform of the BNotK. Westernacher Solutions is alsoinvolved in the development of the successor.
