This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the transformation of the notary institution in the context of the expansion of platform employment and the digitalization of social and labor relations. The aim of the study is to substantiate the thesis of the need for a fundamental rethinking of the notary's functions in the new economic reality and to develop a concept for notarial certification of the express will of the parties to the platform. In the course of the study, the author substantiates her concept of notarial certification of the express will of the parties to the platform. This mechanism is proposed as a tool for making the parties' agreement with the platform's terms indisputable and eliminating subsequent disputes over defects in the will. It aims to protect the labor rights of citizens employed on platforms and simultaneously provide legal guarantees for the digital platforms themselves, minimizing the risks of subsequent legal challenges. The key result was the formulation of proposals for amendments to the Fundamentals of Russian Federation Legislation on Notaries. These amendments are aimed at assigning a new function to the notary—that of "digital transaction curator" in the sphere of platform employment.
