Notary Public Dubai Sheikh Zayed Road: Three Ways to Notarise Your Document
If you need a notary public in Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road, you do not have to lose a working day to a queue. We notarise your document at our Business Bay office, online, or at your office or home. Pick the route that fits your day, then bring the right papers.
Most documents are turned away for simple reasons: a blank field, a signature made before the appointment, or a missing proof of authority. A short call before you travel avoids all three.
Notary Public Dubai Sheikh Zayed Road: Three Ways to Get It Done
Sheikh Zayed Road is full of offices, hotel apartments and homes, so the usual question is how to get a notary to you with the least disruption. We offer three routes.
- In person at our Business Bay office. Our in-house notary public services run at our office, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Bring your original ID and your document.
- Online. Our online notary public services suit documents you can send and sign remotely. WhatsApp and online requests are answered 24/7.
- At your door. Our home visit notary services come to your flat, office or hospital room if you cannot travel.
Tell us the document and where it will be used, and we will tell you which route suits it. For the full picture of the service, see our page on notary public in Dubai.
Notary Service Dubai: What Notarisation Covers
A notary public checks who you are, checks that you understand and agree to what you sign, and then seals the document. It does not check that the contents are true or legal in another country.
Notarial acts in the UAE are regulated by Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2022 on the regulation of the notary profession. In Dubai, notaries public are regulated by Dubai Law No. 4 of 2013. Dubai has a Government notary public at Dubai Courts and licensed private notaries on a roll kept by Dubai Courts.
Common documents that a notary public Dubai Sheikh Zayed Road clients ask for include:
- Powers of attorney
- Affidavits and declarations
- Signatures on contracts and company papers
- Translations that go inside a notarised instrument
- Employment and travel letters that an authority asks you to notarise

Documents to Bring to a Notary
Bring the same things whichever route you choose. Missing items are the main reason for a second visit.
- Your original Emirates ID or passport
- The document, complete and unsigned
- Proof of authority if you sign for a company, such as a trade licence and a signing authority document
- A translation if the document is not in Arabic or English and the receiving office needs one
- The name and details of the person you are authorising, for a power of attorney
Do not sign before the notary sees you. A signature made earlier can be refused.
How Notarisation Works Step by Step
- Send us the document by WhatsApp or email so we can check it before you travel.
- We tell you what is missing and which route fits.
- You confirm the date and place: our Business Bay office, online, or your address.
- Your identity is checked and you sign in front of the notary.
- We handle your notarisation and give you the sealed document.
If the document is going abroad, notarisation is often only the first step. The UAE is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so papers for use abroad usually need attestation by MOFAIC as well. We take care of the attestation and guide you through the order of steps.
Fees
Notary Fees: What You Pay
Federal notary fees are set by Cabinet Resolution No. 19 of 2024. Examples from that schedule:
| Service | Federal fee |
|---|---|
| Notarising a general or special power of attorney | AED 100 per party |
| Authenticating signatures on an instrument of unspecified value | AED 200 per party |
| Executing and notarising an affidavit | AED 300 |
| Notarising a translation in the instrument | AED 50 per page |
A private notary on the federal schedule may add up to 30 percent, so a power of attorney done that way is AED 130 per party. MOFAIC fees are separate: AED 150 for personal documents and AED 2,000 for commercial documents. Translation fees are separate too.
We confirm our own fee when you send the document. Ask us for the current figure before you decide. You can also read our page on notary public fees in Dubai.
When You Need a Different Route
Some matters sit outside a general notary public. If your company or matter is in the DIFC, the DIFC Courts runs its own notary service. Documents for a foreign embassy may need that embassy’s own process. Tell us where the document will be used and we will say plainly if another office is the right one.
