Content on uaenotarypublic.com is provided for general informational purposes. It discusses UAE legal documents and notary-related processes but is not a substitute for legal advice based on the facts and documents of a specific matter.

No Lawyer-Client Relationship From Website Use

Accessing the website, reading an article, sending a form or emailing an initial enquiry does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship or confirm that the firm has accepted an instruction.

Do not assume that a deadline, notice period, limitation issue, filing or transaction is being handled unless the firm has expressly accepted the matter.

Our firm provides legal services including drafting, review and coordination of notary-related documents. A formal notarial act is performed only by the competent authorised notary within the applicable legal framework.

Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2022 regulates the notary profession at federal level. Local and special jurisdictions may have separate frameworks and service channels.

Nothing on this website should be read as representing that the firm, a lawyer or any team member is a government authority or is personally authorised to perform a private-notary function unless that specific authorisation is current and expressly stated.

No Guarantee

No statement on the website guarantees:

  • notarisation or authentication;
  • government, registrar, bank, court or third-party acceptance;
  • registration of a company, property or other right;
  • enforceability of a document;
  • a particular fee;
  • same-day or other completion time;
  • a particular legal, commercial or procedural outcome.

Competent authorities can require additional documents, translations, amendments, identity verification, attendance or approvals.

Laws and Procedures Change

UAE legislation, court practice, government services, free-zone requirements, official fees and online processes can change. Articles may show a review date, but users should verify current requirements for the particular transaction.

For UAE legislation, the official Arabic text should be consulted where authoritative interpretation is required.

DIFC and ADGM

DIFC and ADGM are distinct legal jurisdictions with their own applicable frameworks and service structures. A mainland UAE process should not automatically be applied to a DIFC or ADGM matter, and vice versa.

Cross-Border Documents

Authentication, legalisation, attestation and translation requirements depend on the country of origin, destination country, document type and receiving authority. A document accepted in one country or by one institution may not satisfy another.

Fees

Official government/notary fees, legal professional fees and third-party charges are separate categories unless expressly stated otherwise. Fee information on an article should be checked against the current authority schedule before a transaction is commenced.

External Websites

Links to government authorities, legislation, registrars and other external sites are provided for convenience. We do not control external content or availability.

Content and AI/Search Summaries

Search engines, AI systems and other third-party services may quote, summarise or transform website content. Those outputs are outside our control and may omit qualifications or become outdated. Users should rely on the full current page and official sources rather than an isolated search or AI-generated excerpt.

Professional and Ethical Standards

Legal services are subject to applicable UAE professional and ethical requirements. Cabinet Resolution No. 9 of 2025 approving the Code of Ethics for the Legal Profession and Legal Consultation Profession includes duties concerning compliance with professional laws, protection of client interests, conflicts and professional conduct.

Nothing on this website is intended to promise a result, create an improper expectation or override professional duties.
