What contract notarisation does

Notarising a contract means the parties sign in front of a notary public, who checks who they are and records that they signed. It gives the other side, a bank or an authority a reliable record of who signed and when. It does not judge whether the deal is a good one, so the terms still need to be right before the signing. We read the contract first: the party names, the signatories, the authority of anyone signing for a company, and whether an Arabic version is needed. Then our in-house notary public notarises it at our Business Bay office, online or at a home visit. For an agreement between businesses, such as a supply or distribution agreement, see commercial contract notarisation.

Who signs for a company

The date and the place of signing

Filled in at the signing, not left blank.

Page numbers and initials

So no page can be swapped later.

Get the parties right first

Most contract problems at a notary are not about the terms. A name is spelled differently from the passport, a company signs through someone with no written authority, or a party named in the contract is not at the signing. We check these points before you book, so the signing goes ahead on the day.

Notarised contract

Signed in front of a notary public, who checks identity and records the signing.

Signed contract only

Signed between the parties with no notary. Some banks and authorities will not accept it.

Language decides acceptance

Notarised documents in the UAE are in Arabic, with limited exceptions. Many contracts are prepared in Arabic and English side by side. If you only have English, a legal translator listed by the UAE Ministry of Justice can translate it.

Keep both versions word for word the same

Who signs, and what we check

Every party named in the contract

Original passport and Emirates ID

Trade licence for a company party

Resolution or POA for a company signatory

Names spelled as on the passport

Arabic version where needed

Every page numbered

Blank spaces filled in or struck out

Where a contract gets refused

A contract is refused at signing when a party is missing, a name does not match the ID, or the person signing for a company cannot show authority. It can also be refused by the receiving party later if the language is wrong. We check all four before the appointment.

Refusal reasons, and the fix

Name does not match the passport

Fix: correct the spelling in the contract before signing.

No proof of authority for a company

Fix: bring a board resolution or POA that names the signatory.

A party cannot attend

Fix: sign online, book a home visit, or give a specific POA.

Wrong language for the receiving party

Fix: add an Arabic version or a legal translation.

Blank spaces left in the text

Fix: complete or strike out every blank before signing.

What happens after notarisation.

Each party keeps a copy

The notarised contract is the record of who signed and when.

Register it where required

Some contracts must also be filed with an authority, such as a lease or a property sale.

Use it abroad

A contract for use outside the UAE may need attestation. The UAE does not issue apostilles.

Changing a notarised contract

Do not edit a notarised contract by hand. Write an addendum that names the original contract and the change, and have every party sign it the same way.
