5. How do I get local documents Notarized in the UAE?

Public and private notary services are available in the UAE – in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the other Emirates. Appointments for the notary public offices can be made directly or through the online notary system. (Please note that the system is separate for Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi online notary system requires the relevant documents to be uploaded and approved before a physical notary appointment is scheduled.)

Another option is to request the Notary public to visit you at your home or private office in some specific cases. This can be done by requesting such an appointment.

The general requirements for notarising a document in the UAE are:

• Original document (in Arabic or dual language side by side text) must be presented
• The person(s) signing the document should have the necessary powers to sign and provide supporting documentation as well as identification
• The document must conform to the applicable UAE laws
• All the persons signing the document have to be physically present

Once the necessary documents are submitted, the notary public reviews the document witnesses the document’s signing and verifies the signatories’ identity.

Please note that video call notarization is also allowed during the current COVID travel restrictions – you can contact Morrisman for more information on this.
