The Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury is a regulatory body in English law, which also exercises some adjudicatory functions.
Its jurisdiction is exercised by the Court of Faculties and applies to England and Wales.
This Act transferred to the Archbishop of Canterbury powers which had until then been exercised by the Papal Legate to England.
Notaries public in New Zealand and the State of Queensland, Australia are still appointed by the Faculty Office.
