Among these services, there is the provision of instrument and property registration services that should never be delayed. Sometimes the notary does not find the possibility to be serve the office. In these cases, the institution of an alternative of a notary has been established. Here, the question that arises is what is the proper legal structure of the institution of an alternative of a notary public? as a hypothesis, it should be said that identifying the necessary independence on the one hand, and drawing a clear competence is appropriate to the position of holding the registration services on the other hand, are the most important aspects of the legal structure that oversees the institution of an alternative of a notary public. our research show that the of Iran legal order, by a classic view of the notary system, insist on the implementation of the individual-based of a notary system by creating an inchoate overlap between the notary and its alternatives along with the lack of necessary independence, take an improper policy to meet the needs of citizens relate to registration services. On the other hand, the france legal order has established a right strategy of providing registration services to the society by identifying the cooperative notary system and creating a complete overlap in the jurisdiction of the notary and his alternative.
