A Notary Public in the UAE is an officially authorized legal officer (under the Ministry of Justice or Dubai Courts) who verifies and certifies documents, witnesses signatures, and ensures that legal transactions comply with UAE law. Notarization is mandatory for many business and personal documents, including company formation papers, powers of attorney, and affidavits. Both government notaries (Dubai Courts) and licensed private notaries provide these services.
Notarization adds a layer of legal authenticity and protection against fraud. Under UAE law, a notarized document is presumed to represent the truth of its contents and is enforceable in courts and government departments. It is essential for:
-
Company formation (MOA, AOA)
-
Partnership agreements
-
Powers of Attorney
-
Affidavits and declarations
-
Commercial contracts and property transactions
Without proper notarization, documents may be rejected by authorities or deemed invalid in legal proceedings.
