If you are searching for a 24 hour notary near me in Dubai because a deadline is close, the short answer is that no notary in Dubai is open every hour of every day. Our fast track notary services are the quickest real option: our in-house notary public in person at our Business Bay office, online, or on a home visit. Office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. WhatsApp and online requests answered 24/7. Tell us your deadline and document and we will tell you the fastest real option.

Urgent requests fall into a few common types: last-minute travel consent for a child, a power of attorney needed before an embassy or bank deadline, or a corporate signature needed before a filing closes. What slows an urgent case down is almost never the notary, it is a document that is not ready: missing ID, no Arabic translation, or a signatory who has not confirmed availability.

Quick answer

## At a glance

- No notary service in Dubai can promise round-the-clock hours; what varies is which private notaries take appointments in the evening or at the weekend.
- Office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. WhatsApp and online requests answered 24/7.
- Online notarisation, where the document type allows it, is often the fastest route because it removes travel time. See [online notary services in Dubai](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/online-notary-services-in-dubai/).
- A document that is already in Arabic or bilingual format and has the right ID ready moves fastest, urgent or not.
- Government notarisation fees are fixed by law regardless of timing. Executing or notarising a general or special power of attorney is AED 100 per party under the federal schedule. Source: [https://uaelegislation.gov.ae/en/legislations/2491](https://uaelegislation.gov.ae/en/legislations/2491)
- Any extra charge for evening, weekend or rush handling is a separate service decision.

## What we can really do out of hours

Some private notaries take appointments outside standard office hours, and some documents can be notarised online without an in-person visit at all. What we do first is check whether your document type and your deadline need an out-of-hours appointment, or whether the online route gets you there faster regardless of the time of day. Our own hours: Office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. WhatsApp and online requests answered 24/7.

## Fastest routes

**Our in-house notary public.** Fast track notary services at our Business Bay office, online, or on a home visit, with the paperwork prepared before you sign.

**Private notary appointment.** A private notary can often see you sooner than a government notary counter, because a private practice sets its own booking. This is usually the fastest in-person route for a straightforward document.

**Online notarisation.** For document types the Ministry of Justice E-Notary System or a private notary's remote process can handle, signing over a secure video session avoids travel entirely, which is often the single biggest time saver. Full detail is on our [online notary services in Dubai](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/online-notary-services-in-dubai/) page.

**Home or office visit.** If the signatory cannot travel at all, a mobile visit is an option, though it usually needs more lead time to book than an in-person office appointment. See [notary services at home](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/notary-services-at-home/).

## Weekend and Friday options

Since January 2022 the UAE government weekend has been Saturday and Sunday, with Friday a half working day for government offices. Whether a specific private notary works on a Friday afternoon, Saturday or Sunday depends on that notary's own schedule.

## Common urgent jobs

- **Travel consent.** A parent travelling with a child alone, or a child travelling with one parent or a grandparent, often needs a signed and notarised consent letter before a flight. Airlines and immigration desks can be strict about this, so leaving it to the day before travel is risky. See [child travel consent in the UAE](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/child-travel-consent-in-the-uae/).
- **Power of attorney before a deadline.** A property sale, a bank matter or a court filing can hinge on a power of attorney being signed and notarised by a specific date. If the person who needs to sign is abroad or in hospital, that adds its own timing pressure on top of the deadline itself. See [power of attorney in Dubai](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/power-of-attorney-in-dubai/).
- **Embassy or visa deadlines.** Some embassies set a fixed appointment date, and a supporting document has to be notarised, and sometimes attested by MOFAIC afterwards, before that date. Attestation is a separate step from notarisation and needs its own lead time, so check both when you are working against a fixed date.
- **Corporate signatures.** A board resolution or a signature update sometimes has to be notarised before a bank deadline or a filing window closes, which can be just as time sensitive as a personal document.

## Booking an urgent appointment

The fastest way to start is to tell us three things straight away: the exact document, your deadline, and whether the signatory can travel. That lets us tell you immediately whether an online session, an appointment at our Business Bay office, or a home or office visit is realistic for your timeline, instead of you guessing which page to read.

## What slows an urgent case down

The two most common delays are a document that is not yet in Arabic or bilingual format, and a signatory who does not have valid original ID with them. A legal translator registered with the UAE Ministry of Justice can turn around a translation, but that step needs to be started as early as possible, not left to the day of the appointment. Missing or expired ID, whether an Emirates ID or a passport, will stop a signing even if every other part of the document is ready.

Fees

## What affects urgent cost

The underlying government notarisation fee does not change because a case is urgent. What can change is whether a private notary or a service provider adds a charge for evening, weekend or same-day handling.

How we help

## How we help

There are three ways to get it done fast with us: in person at our Business Bay office with our in-house notary public, through our online notary public services, or on a home visit. Tell us the document and your deadline by phone, WhatsApp or email, and we check whether it needs an in-person signature or can be handled online, prepare, draft or translate the paperwork, and give you the earliest appointment we can offer. Our in-house notary public checks the signatory's ID, watches the signing, and applies the seal, exactly as in a standard appointment, just on a schedule that fits your deadline where one is available. If your case is not truly urgent, our page on [finding a notary near me](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/notary-near-me/) covers the standard route, which is usually simpler, and our [home page](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/) lists the full range of notary services in Dubai we can help with.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a 24 hour notary in Dubai?

No service can promise a notary is available every hour of every day. Some private notaries take appointments in the evening or at the weekend, and online notarisation can remove the need for travel, so ask us about your specific deadline rather than relying on a "24 hour notary near me" search result. Office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. WhatsApp and online requests answered 24/7.

### Is a notary open on Saturday or Sunday in Dubai?

The UAE government weekend is Saturday and Sunday, and Friday is a half working day for government offices. Private notary availability at the weekend varies by notary. Office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. WhatsApp and online requests answered 24/7. Call or WhatsApp +971 54 380 1094 to check.

### Can I get a document notarised urgently online in Dubai?

For document types that a remote or e-notary process can handle, yes, an online session through our online notary public services or the Ministry of Justice E-Notary System avoids travel time. See [online notary services in Dubai](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/online-notary-services-in-dubai/).

### How fast can an urgent notarisation be done?

It depends on the document, whether it is already in Arabic or bilingual format, and whether the notary has an appointment slot free.

### What if my embassy or travel deadline is tomorrow?

Contact us with the deadline and the exact document as early as possible. Urgent requests are handled as fast as the notary's availability allows, so call or WhatsApp +971 54 380 1094 straight away. The main risk to that deadline is a document that still needs translation, not the notarisation step itself.

### Can an urgent notary come to a hospital?

A hospital visit is possible in principle for a patient who cannot travel, but the notary needs to be satisfied the patient understands the document and is signing freely, which can take longer to arrange than a routine visit. See [notary services at home](https://notaryservicesdubai.com/notary-services-at-home/) for how a mobile visit works.
