I’m not an expert in the field, but from some reading it seems notaries public aren’t lawyers (in common law systems) and should be distinguished from civil law notaries? Can someone with more expertise confirm or dismiss?

The wiki about the lawyer key isn’t helpful in defining the actual meaning of the tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lawyer

And this page suggests that the office=notary tag could be seen as equivalent: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dnotary
