Notary services in Dubai: every service we offer, with prices
This page lists all our notary services in Dubai in one place: what each service is for, what we need from you, what you get back and the starting price. We have in-house, in person notary public services, online notary public services and home visit notary services. You can sign with us in Dubai, by video, or at your home, office, hospital or care home in the UAE.

Attestation after the notary
A notarised document used in the UAE usually needs nothing more. A document going abroad is attested by MOFA, then by the destination country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE. The UAE is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so there is no apostille. See is the UAE an apostille country and the UAE attestation process.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What notary services in Dubai do you offer?
We notarise powers of attorney, affidavits, declarations, NOCs, consent letters, true copies and signatures. You can sign in person with us, online by video or at your home or office. We also prepare the document and the translation, and take it on to MOFA when it must be used abroad.
