A bank may ask for one before releasing funds, an authority before approving a request, a counterparty before completing a deal. It is not the same as a contract between two parties negotiating terms, it is usually one party putting their commitment in writing because someone else has asked for it. Notarising it adds a dated, notarised record that the promise was made, in that wording, by that person or company. ## Common reasons for an undertaking letter ### A condition set by a bank A repayment undertaking, or a promise tied to an account or facility. [Send the details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A condition set by an authority A compliance undertaking requested before an approval is granted. [Send the details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A condition in a transaction A promise to a counterparty, to complete an action or not to act in a certain way. [Send the details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### A personal undertaking A written promise between individuals, where one side wants it in writing. [Send the details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ## What the letter must contain 01 Who is promising, and to whom Full names, and company details where either side is a business. 02 The exact promise What will, or will not, be done, stated precisely, not in general terms. 03 Any timeframe or condition By when, or on what condition, the promise applies. 04 A reference to what was requested The bank, authority or counterparty’s own wording, where they gave one. 05 Signature of the person making the promise Or an authorised signatory, with proof of authority to sign. ## Getting the scope right An undertaking letter only works if it says exactly what the receiving party asked for. A vague promise, “we will comply where reasonable”, is often rejected outright. Send us what the bank, authority or counterparty actually requested, and we draft or check the wording against it before you sign, so it is accepted the first time. How your undertaking letter is notarised 01 ### Contact us Send a WhatsApp message or book online. 02 ### Share the request What the bank, authority or counterparty asked for, and any wording they gave you. 03 ### Identity check We check the identity of whoever signs the undertaking. 04 ### Get your notarised letter Collect it at the visit, or ask for a digital copy and delivery. ### What it costs | Document | Fee | What you need | | --- | --- | --- | | Undertaking letter | We quote after reading the document | The exact promise, any request it answers, ID or passport | | Drafting the letter | We quote after reading the document | A note of what was asked for and by whom | Fees may vary with the document; we confirm the figure before you sign. ## What to bring Passport or Emirates ID for whoever signs, any letter or request from the bank, authority or counterparty, and a clear statement of exactly what you are promising. Undertaking letter ## Undertaking letter A promise to do, or not do, something, usually because someone else asked for it in writing. Legal notice ## Legal notice A formal demand or notice to another party, rather than a promise. [See legal notice](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/legal-notice/). ![A hand signing a formal document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/docs-fountainpen-b3d7ba-1.jpg) ## What decides whether it is accepted The receiving bank, authority or counterparty usually has specific wording or conditions in mind. An undertaking that answers those precisely is accepted far more often than one written in general terms and hoped to fit. Send us the request itself where you have it, not just a summary. - Match the wording to what was requested - State the promise precisely, not in general terms - Confirm who has authority to sign for a company ## Who signs, and what we check The person or company making the promise An authorised signatory, where a company is promising Passport or Emirates ID for whoever signs The letter, read through before you sign Any request or template from the receiving party Both language versions, where the letter is bilingual ## Where an undertaking letter is refused We do not notarise a letter that is too vague to mean anything, that promises something unlawful, or that a company signatory has no proof of authority to sign. We read the letter and check who is signing before you put your name to it. ## Common problems, and the fix 01 The promise is too vague Fix: state exactly what will or will not be done, with a date or condition. 02 It does not match what was requested Fix: send us the bank or authority’s own wording before we draft it. 03 A company signatory has no proof of authority Fix: bring a board resolution or power of attorney confirming who may sign. 04 The two language versions differ Fix: correct both texts together before signing. After notarisation 01 ### The letter goes to the receiving party The bank, authority or counterparty who asked for it. 02 ### You keep the notarised copy As your dated record of the promise you made. 03 ### You keep track of the timeframe Where the undertaking has a date or condition attached. 04 ### You keep it with your file In case it is asked for again later. ![A company representative signing a document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/company-power-of-attorney-signing-17682883.jpg) ## If an attorney is signing for someone else An undertaking is sometimes signed by an attorney holding a valid power of attorney, rather than the person themselves. - [Company power of attorney](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/company-power-of-attorney/) - [Contract notarisation](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contract-notarization/) ![Dubai's business district skyline](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/dubai-business-district-ad608a-scaled.jpg) ## Send us what was requested.

Send us what was requested and we quote after reading it. #### Is an undertaking letter the same as a contract? No. It is usually one party’s written promise, often required as a condition rather than negotiated between two sides. #### Does the letter need to match a specific template? Where the bank or authority gave one, yes, we check the wording against it. #### Can a company sign an undertaking letter? Yes, through an authorised signatory, with proof of authority to sign. #### What happens if the promise is not kept? That is a legal question for the receiving party and your lawyer. We keep your notarised copy as the record. #### Does the letter need to be bilingual? Often, where the receiving party relies on the Arabic text. We check both versions against each other. ## What clients say Reviews from our Google Business Profile, published as written. > Had experience of getting some of my documents attested from the firm.
