If you're planning to submit official documents in Dubai—for business, legal, real estate, or immigration purposes—chances are you’ll need to get them notarized. But how do you do it? What does it cost? And what’s the difference between notarization and attestation?

This complete guide from Key Corner Legal answers all your questions about notary services in Dubai.

How Do I Notarize a Document in Dubai?

To notarize a document in Dubai, you must go through a licensed notary public or approved legal firm such as Key Corner Legal. The notary verifies your identity, confirms the document’s content, and stamps/signs it to make it legally valid.

Steps to notarize a document:

Bring the original document and a valid ID (passport or Emirates ID).
Visit a licensed lawyer or notary office (or request mobile notarization).
Sign in the presence of the notary, or present already signed documents for verification.
Receive a stamped and signed document with legal notary approval.

We help notarize:

Power of Attorney (POA)
Affidavits & Declarations
Contracts & Agreements
Signature verifications
Commercial documents

What Is the Difference Between Notarization and Attestation?

These two terms are often confused, but they serve different legal purposes:

Notarization	Attestation
Performed by a UAE notary public or licensed lawyer	Performed by government bodies, e.g. MOFA or embassies
Validates signatures, content, and intent	Confirms a document’s authenticity across borders
Often used for legal contracts, POA, declarations	Required for international use, like visa or education
Involves legal review and a notary stamp	Involves stamping by MOFA, embassy, etc.

In many cases, documents require both notarization and attestation—especially for immigration, study abroad, and business incorporation. At Key Corner Legal, we handle both processes under one roof.
