It's the same in the Netherlands.

There is European legislation since 2024 that allows 'digital' notaries (Directive 2019/1151). Not many notaries support it though.

In the Netherlands it's much simpler. The notary only has to identify you for their record keeping, no mandatory reading of things etc.

And once identified for something you can easily authorise the notary to sign other things on your behalf as well.

We did that all the time when for example adding new entities to a group structure. Just e-sign the authorisation and that's all.
