Who is the document for?

We notarise documents for individuals and for companies. The requirements differ, so this is the first thing we need to know.

How would you like it done?

Not every document can be notarised remotely. We will tell you plainly if yours cannot.

When do you need it?

An honest answer here helps. We will tell you if a deadline is not achievable rather than after you have booked.

Where should we send the answer?

You will get the instrument you need, what to bring, and the government fee. No charge for that.

No charge for the conversation. Please do not send identity documents here.

An affidavit is a statement of fact sworn before the notary. A declaration or undertaking is signed and acknowledged rather than sworn. Which one you need is decided by the person asking for it, so bring their written requirement and we draft the right document.

In person, online or at your home

In person at our Business Bay office

Meet our in-house notary public at Business Hub, Marasi Drive. Bring your originals and the document is signed and sealed in one visit.

Online notary appointment

Meet the notary by secure video call, with your identity confirmed through UAE PASS. The document is issued electronically.

Home or office visit

We come to your home, office or board meeting anywhere in Dubai. The government attendance fee is AED 1,000 per visit, not per signature.

How it works

  1. Tell us who is asking, and for what. They decide if it is sworn or acknowledged.
  2. We confirm the document and the fee. In writing.
  3. We draft it in Arabic and English. Including any wording the receiving body requires.
  4. You read it and sign. At our Business Bay office, online through UAE PASS, or at your home.
  5. You receive the notarised document. Registered with Dubai Courts, with a verification barcode.

Get it right the first time

Bring their requirement. If an employer, court or embassy asked for this, they usually said what it must say.

Name the country first. A statutory declaration for Canada is worded differently from one for the UK.

Read every fact. Correcting a draft is free. Correcting a registered instrument is an AED 300 government fee.

Affidavit and declaration cost

Government fees. Our own fee for drafting and translation is quoted in writing before work starts.

Affidavit and declaration questions

What is the difference between an affidavit and a declaration?

An affidavit is sworn before the notary. A declaration or undertaking is acknowledged. The body asking for it decides which.

My employer abroad sent a template. Can you use it?

Yes, if the wording works under UAE notarial rules. If it does not, we tell you what has to change.

Can I do it online?

Most declarations and affidavits can be signed online, with your identity confirmed through UAE PASS.

What does an affidavit cost?

AED 300 to execute and notarise, plus AED 100 per party for electronic registration. Both are government fees.

Do you notarise child travel consent letters?

Yes. Bring the child’s passport and birth certificate, and check whether the airline or country needs both parents to sign.

Excellent notary service. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally. They even agreed to schedule a call at a time that worked best for us, which was outside their usual practice, a real sign of their flexibility and client focus.

Describe the task rather than the document name. You will get back the instrument you need, a list of what to bring, and the cost split between the government fee and ours, in writing, before anything starts.
