UAE notarisation has strict formatting, language, and procedural requirements. The notary will reject a document for missing seals, incorrect Arabic translation, an inadequate signatory authority, or a defective declaration. We prepare and notarise documents on your behalf - affidavits, declarations, settlement agreements, share transfer documents, and corporate resolutions - across Dubai Courts Notary Public, Abu Dhabi Notary, Sharjah Notary, and the UAE online notary platform.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Document Preparation

    We draft or format the document in the bilingual layout the notary requires, with the correct legal language and references.

  2. 02

    Translation

    If the document is in English (or another language), we coordinate a certified Arabic translation by an MOJ-licensed legal translator.

  3. 03

    Notary Appointment

    We book and attend the notary public appointment with you - at Dubai Courts, Abu Dhabi Notary, or another emirate's notary - or use the online notary platform.

  4. 04

    Issuance & Filing

    We collect the notarised original, file a copy in your records, and arrange any onward MOFA / embassy steps if the document is for use abroad.

Documents required

  • Original document (or final draft) to be notarised
  • Passport and Emirates ID of all signatories
  • Trade license, MOA, and signatory authorisation (for corporate documents)
  • Power of Attorney (if signing on behalf of someone else)
  • Existing related agreements (where the notarised document references them)

Frequently asked questions

Many documents - declarations, undertakings, and certain corporate resolutions - can be notarised through the Dubai Courts e-notary platform. Some documents (e.g., share transfers, real estate matters) still require an in-person notary appointment. We confirm eligibility before booking.
Yes. UAE notaries accept documents in Arabic, or in Arabic alongside a foreign-language version. We arrange certified translation by a Ministry of Justice-licensed translator as part of the engagement.
Yes, with a Power of Attorney that specifically authorises the notarisation. The wording must be precise - a general POA is often rejected for specific notarial acts. We draft the POA at the outset where needed.
Most countries require additional legalisation (MOFA attestation, embassy attestation, or apostille) after notarisation. We arrange the full chain when the document is for use abroad.

Watch out

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 01Sending a draft to the notary that has not been formatted as a bilingual document - automatic rejection.
  • 02Forgetting that all signatories must attend in person (or via the online platform), with originals of their IDs.
  • 03Using a Power of Attorney that is too narrow to authorise the specific notarisation - POA wording matters.
  • 04Treating online notarisation as identical to counter notarisation - some document types are not eligible online.
