Who are we?
Every year, 2.5 million Belgians trust the independent advice of a notary. At Fednot – the largest professional federation in the country – we support notaries so that they can concentrate on what they do best: helping people at important moments in their lives. Together, we make the difference for the profession and for the general public.
The International Council of the Belgian Notariat (CINB-IRBN) was founded in 2002 by the Federation of Notaries (FEDNOT) and the National Chamber of Notaries (CNK). CINB-IRBN contributes to the promotion and defends the interests of the civil law notary profession towards European and International Institutions. CINB-IRBN is a relatively small organization with a dynamic, open, multilingual and collaborative culture. The offices of CINB-IRBN are based in the ‘House of Notaries’ in the centre of Brussels, close to the central station and Grand Place.
