Aviation: Notaries in Dubai

When using notaries in Dubai you must plan and understand the specific requirements involved. Notarisation is a very formal process in the UAE, meaning notaries are court appointed. Documents submitted for notarisation will therefore need to be translated into Arabic, the official language of the UAE, before they can be notarised. Translations must be done by a certified translator and certified by the relevant authorities, adding time and expense to the process.

It is important to note that notaries in Dubai verify a person’s identity and signature, and ensure the document is compliant with UAE regulations. Any non-compliance will result in delays or rejections of the document. We advise engaging local counsel early.
