XNP is the basic application that the Federal Chamber of Notaries makes available to all notaries free of charge. Various specialist applications are integrated and executed within the XNP application (e.g. for accessing the special electronic notary mailbox beN).
XNP creates a modern communication basis for cooperation between notary’s offices and the public administration (e.g. the judiciary). Standard processes and applications for recording and processing register and land register transactions in electronic legal transactions are mapped using the qualified digital signature in accordance with SigG/SigV and eIDAS.

XNP – the modular platform of the Federal Chamber of Notaries for notaries
The Federal Chamber of Notaries operates a range of services for notaries, including the register of wills, the register of precautionary measures, the certification office and the document archive, and provides notaries with software to fulfill their official duties, including participation in electronic legal transactions (special notary mailbox beN), electronic commercial register and land register applications and the electronic submission of applications and declarations in accordance with FamFG § 14b.
XNP arose from the requirement to provide all notaries with a central, standardized software package that makes these services available in a convenient, centralized and integrated manner. At the same time, the high requirements for security (end-to-end encryption), modularity and expandability had to be taken into account.
Westernacher Solutions designed the software architecture and developed the platform in line with these requirements.
The realization of this high standard has been successful! The result is a technologically sophisticated platform that combines all these services under one roof. The notary and his employees can use all these services from a single software package. XNP has a modular structure so that new services can be integrated at any time. Central interfaces of the framework are available with which the individual modules can communicate with each other and with the framework. The modular architecture can be found on both the client and the server. The client runs an Electron client, which combines a modern single-page web frontend with Nodejs modules that enable access to local resources such as signature cards. On the server side, the platform is operated in a Kubernetes/OKD cluster, which enables highly automated and scalable operation.
For example, in the case of a commercial register application, the application is first created in the commercial register module, then qualified electronically signed via the signature module and finally transferred to the beN module for dispatch to the register court via EGVP.
