Wathiq connects Algerian citizens and the diaspora with licensed notaries and lawyers across all 58 wilayas. For a notarial office, it is an additional stream of pre-qualified cases with no sales effort and no entry fee. This guide walks you through, step by step, how to register, get your professional status verified, and handle your first cases in full compliance with Algerian law.
Free registration, no commitment
Signing up to Wathiq is completely free. There is no subscription and no exclusivity clause: your office stays fully in control of its own workflow and schedule. The only requirement is that you practice legally in Algeria and can prove your professional registration.
In practice, you create your professional account by entering your registration number with the National Order of Notaries (or, for a lawyer, with the Bar). This number is what lets Wathiq confirm that you are indeed a professional authorized to receive and authenticate legal instruments.
What to have ready
To move quickly, gather these details before you start:
- Your registration number with the Order of Notaries (or the Bar)
- Your office's official contact details and wilaya of practice
- A professional email address and phone number
- The types of instruments you want to handle (property sales, powers of attorney, SARL company deeds, inheritance files, and more)
Status verified within 48 hours
Once you submit your request, the Wathiq team verifies your professional status within 48 hours. This check protects both citizens and your reputation: only genuinely licensed notaries appear on the platform. When verification is complete, your profile receives the "Verified" badge, a trust signal that clients see straight away.
A verified notary earns trust from the very first click: the Wathiq "Verified" badge is your digital business card for citizens and the diaspora alike.
Receive already-qualified cases
Once verified, you start receiving requests from citizens and diaspora members, along with the documents they have already submitted. You stay in charge: as the licensed notary, you review the documents, check their compliance, and validate the file before drawing up the deed. Wathiq organizes the flow and secures the exchanges, but the authentic instrument remains solely your responsibility.
For the diaspora, this is a game changer: an Algerian living abroad can prepare a power of attorney or a sale remotely, while you receive a structured file ready to be processed as soon as they visit the office or act through a proxy.
A fixed commission, known in advance
Payment is transparent. For every case, the commission is fixed and known in advance: no surprises and no negotiation. The citizen pays online by CIB or EDAHABIA card, and the amount owed to you is credited automatically to your Wathiq wallet as soon as the case is validated.
- Fixed commission shown before you accept the case
- Secure client payment via CIB or EDAHABIA
- Automatic credit to your Wathiq wallet on validation
- Clear tracking of every amount, case by case
Joining Wathiq takes only a few minutes and commits you to nothing. Create your professional account, enter your registration number, earn your "Verified" badge within 48 hours, and let qualified cases come to you. Get started today on Wathiq and open your office to all of Algeria and its diaspora.
