All Notary Public offices in Dubai ceased from 29 March 2020 until further notice due to the ongoing sterilization program. During this period, certain Notary Public services, including Power of Attorney notarization, will be conducted remotely.

This means that you do not have to be physically present and visit the Dubai Courts Notary Public offices to sign and notarize your Power of Attorney. The remote notarization process shall be done using online channels.

The remote services that will be provided by the Notary Public in Dubai include the following:

• Power of Attorney notarisation;
• Acknowledgments;
• Legal Notice notarisation;
• Civil Companies’ memorandum of association and its addenda notarisation; and
• Local Agency Service Agreement notarisation.

How to Get Started?

The first step is to get your Power of Attorney drafted. Without a doubt, this is the most crucial step. It is important to ensure that your POA is drafted clearly and professionally and precisely conveys your situation. This approach will minimize the risk of POA rejection from third parties and/or government entities at a later stage and will save your time and money. POA.ae offers POA drafting services and you can order your POA online from the comfort of your home. Once your POA is drafted and approved by you, will send you a final version so that you can proceed with the remote notarization.

Remote Notarization

The remote notarization shall be started by sending in an email to the designated email address of the Dubai Courts Notary Public. The application email shall mention the Principal’s full name, mobile number, BOTIM number and full address along with the attachments of the below:

• PDF file for the signed POA;
• Copy of the valid Emirates ID or valid passport;
• Copy of the Trade License if POA is signed on behalf of a company;
• Copy of the existing POA if it will be signed by virtue of another POA.
• Other documents depending on the type of your POA (e.g. title deed copy, vehicle registration card copy).

It is important to note that the application will be approved by identity verification, capacities and awareness of the POA which will be done through BOTIM so Principal shall be subscribed to the application.

Once approved, you will be receiving an email containing the fees and its’ link for payment, which shall be settled by using a credit or debit card.  Then you can expect to receive the notarized POA within one to two weeks after the payment.
