NotariesLlama for notaries
Meta's natively multimodal, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts family (Scout and Maverick), free to download and self-host.
Llama isn't on our list for civil-law notaries. Usable for general work, but first look at the options we recommend for civil-law notaries.

Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch companies therefore may not install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves under the licence. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in notaries.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionNotaries are bound by strict confidentiality (art. 22 Wna) and liability for the content of deeds. Client data is personal data under the GDPR; audio recordings of signing meetings must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. Only use systems with EU hosting and a data processing agreement, where input is not used for model training. AI output for deeds and advice always requires verification by a qualified notary.
Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
