## What commercial contract notarisation covers

A commercial contract is any agreement between businesses that sets out what each side will do, such as a supply agreement, a distribution agreement, a service contract or a partnership agreement. Notarising it gives the contract a checked date and a notary’s confirmation that the named parties signed it, which strengthens its standing if a dispute reaches a UAE court. Two named contract types, a [commercial agency agreement](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/commercial-agency-agreement/) and a [local service agent agreement](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/local-service-agent-agreement/), have their own pages because they follow a specific legal form. Any other commercial contract is notarised under this service. We read the contract before you sign, to check the parties, the signatures and the company authority are in order.

## What the contract must contain

01

The parties

Every business named exactly as on its trade licence.

02

The signatories

Named individuals with authority to sign for each business.

03

The terms agreed

What each side will do, and for how long.

04

The company stamps

Where a company signs with a stamp as well as a signature.

05

Both language texts, where the contract is bilingual

Checked against each other before signing.

## Getting the scope right

Notarising a contract does not create the agreement, the two businesses do that. What we add is a check that the right people signed, with the right authority, and a notarised record of the date. Tell us the contract type and who is signing, and we tell you what authority each signatory needs to bring.

## What decides whether it is accepted

A UAE court or counterparty checks that every signatory had authority to sign for their business, that the company stamps match the trade licences, and that both language texts agree where the contract is bilingual.

- Every signatory’s authority is checked before signing
- Company stamps match the current trade licences
- Both texts agree, where the contract is in two languages

## Who signs, and what we check

An authorised signatory for each business

Passport or Emirates ID of every signatory

The trade licence of each business

Proof of signing authority, such as a board resolution

Company stamps, where the contract uses them

## Where a commercial contract gets refused

We cannot notarise a contract where a signatory cannot show authority to sign for their business, or where the two language texts disagree on a material term. A contract signed by someone not named on the trade licence or a resolution is usually refused until that is corrected.

## Common problems, and the fix

01

A signatory has no proof of authority

Fix: bring the board resolution or power of attorney that names them.

02

The two language texts disagree

Fix: correct both texts together before signing.

03

A business’s trade licence has expired

Fix: renew it before the contract is signed.

04

The contract names a business incorrectly

Fix: match every name to the current trade licence.

After notarisation

01

### Each party keeps a copy

Both businesses hold a notarised copy of the signed contract.

02

### File it where required

Some contracts are filed with a free zone or government body, tell us if yours is.

03

### Keep signing authority on file

Keep the resolution or power of attorney with the contract.

04

### Amend it later through an addendum

A notarised contract is not edited, a change is recorded separately.
