Electronic Notary Public: Who Qualifies and What You Get

The Electronic Notary Public service provides a digital way for individuals to have their legal paperwork formally witnessed and authenticated by an official.

👤Who it's for

This service is designed for residents living in the United Arab Emirates who require legal attestation for their paperwork. If you have important documents that need to be verified to ensure they are legally recognized, this service is intended for you.

🎁What you get

By using this service, you receive legally binding attestation for your essential documents. This includes the formal verification of contracts and the authentication of powers of attorney, ensuring that these legal instruments carry the necessary weight required by authorities and other parties.

💰What it costs you

There is no single flat fee for this service. Instead, the amount you are required to pay depends entirely on the specific type of document you are submitting for attestation. You should check the current fee schedule for your particular document type before starting the process.

⚠️The catch to know

A common hurdle for many users is the language requirement. If your legal documents are written in a foreign language, they cannot be processed in that state; you must first have them translated by a certified translator to ensure they meet the necessary standards for the attestation process.

📝How to apply

1. Ensure all your documents are prepared and, if they are in a foreign language, have them translated by a certified translator.
2. Gather your digital identification and any other required documentation needed for the verification process.
3. Access the official digital platform provided by the Ministry of Justice.
4. Submit your documents through the portal and follow the prompts to complete the attestation.
5. Pay the required fees based on your document type to finalize the process.
