Notary Public Services in Abu Dhabi — Contract & Document Attestation

A private notary is an ADJD-licensed lawyer or law firm authorized to notarize documents, typically offering faster turnaround, flexible scheduling, and a personalized service. A governmental notary is ADJD's own notary office — including the English Language Notary Services Bureau launched in 2023 for English-language notarizations. Tasreea coordinates with both and chooses whichever route is faster or more cost-effective for your specific document.

Costs depend on the document type, page count, and whether you use a private or governmental notary. Governmental notary fees are fixed by ADJD; private notaries add a service fee but often deliver faster. We confirm the full cost with you before booking, so you know the total in advance. Contact us for a transparent quote based on your exact documents.

No. Tasreea is a business setup consultancy, not a licensed notary. We coordinate and prepare your documents, liaise with the notary public on your behalf, and book the appointment. The actual notarization is performed by an ADJD-licensed notary public — either private or governmental — so your document is legally valid.

Processing time depends on the notary public's approval and cannot be fixed in advance. In most cases it takes longer than a few days once your paperwork is complete and pre-checked. Because we prepare documents to ADJD formatting requirements before the appointment, we avoid the rejection loops that commonly delay first-time applicants. We confirm an honest, route-specific estimate at your free document review rather than promising a set timeframe.

You will typically need the current trade license, valid IDs of the seller and buyer, the draft assignment or sale agreement, and any prior shareholder resolutions. We review your documents, prepare everything for the notary, and confirm exactly what you need to bring before the appointment is booked.

Yes. We coordinate attestation of liquidation minutes and closure resolutions for private entities and government-linked agencies alike. Each route has specific preparation and formatting requirements, which we handle so your minutes are accepted the first time you present them.

In most cases, signatories must attend the notary session in person with valid identification. Some documents can be handled through a power of attorney arrangement. We confirm the attendance requirements for your specific document before the appointment, so nobody travels unnecessarily.

Yes. ADJD launched the English Language Notary Services Bureau in 2023, dedicated to notarizing English-language documents. This is particularly useful for expatriate business owners. We prepare documents for this route and book your slot there when it is the faster or more convenient option.

You will need a valid passport or Emirates ID of the grantor, the details of the powers being granted, and — for commercial POAs — the trade license of the company. If the POA grants powers over property, related title or tenancy documents may be required. We confirm the complete list when you contact us.

Yes. Foreign nationals can notarize documents in Abu Dhabi without a UAE national present. You will need your valid passport and residency documentation. We prepare your paperwork and arrange the notary appointment, so the process is straightforward regardless of your nationality.

It depends on where the document will be used. Documents used abroad typically need further attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, sometimes, the destination embassy. Documents used within the UAE for DED, banks, or courts are usually ready after notarization. We advise on the correct next step for your use case.

Online services like NotaryPublic24 process apostilles and notarizations remotely but lack local Abu Dhabi expertise. As a Mussafah-based team, we know exactly what ADJD and DED require, coordinate with the right private or governmental notary, and pair this with our business setup, visa, and government services — all under one roof.
