contents There has been strong interest in the fate of relativistic symmetries in some quantum spacetimes, also because of its possible relevance for high-precision experimental tests of relativistic properties. However, the main technical results obtained so far concern the description of suitably deformed relativistic-symmetry transformation rules, whereas the properties of the associated Noether charges, which are crucial for the phenomenology, are still poorly understood. We here tackle this problem focusing on first-quantized particles described within a Hamiltonian framework and using as toy model the so-called ``spatial kappa-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime'', where all the relevant conceptual challenges are present but, as here shown, in technically manageable fashion. We derive the Noether charges, including the much-debated total-momentum charges, and we expose a strong link between the properties of these Noether charges and the structure of the laws of interaction among particles.
