"In Australia public notaries are also practising solicitors. In China, the notary has not expanded into other areas of legal work and is a separate profession."

so the PRC translation may (should?) be different depending on which jurisdiction you are talking about...

Explanation:
美国俗称地保官，它的本义不像中国的公正处那样正轨。在美国，任何一个公民，只要通过一个半小时的考试，都可作地保官，他起的作用就是证明签名的真实。

我刚刚才做了一份，他的名片，办公室的牌子都是这样写的： Notary Public, 地保官，业务内容：地保公证。

我的意思是说，要么中国的公证处一词的英文翻译一直是错的，要么中国历来对公证的作用毫无理由地夸大了，而且搞成了司法局的直属单位，有点小题大作。
