A deposition on notice is a deposition taken before a competent official after reasonable notice has been given in writing by the party or attorney proposing to take such deposition to the opposing party or attorney of record. Notarizing officers, as defined by 22 CFR 92.1 , are competent officials for taking depositions on notice in foreign countries (see § 92.51 ). This method of taking a deposition does not necessarily involve the issuance of a commission or other court order.
