How remote notarization actually works for non-residents

For non-residents, the old picture of notarization — flights, embassy queues, weeks of waiting — is increasingly out of date. Where the law permits, a Dubai POA can be notarized over a secure video call. Here is what that route looks like when we manage it for you.

Step 1 — We prepare and translate the draft

Before any call is booked, we identify the right POA, draft it in the wording the receiving authority accepts, and prepare the certified Arabic translation. You review the full draft and we refine it until you approve.

Step 2 — Identity verification on a secure call

At the booked time, a licensed Dubai Notary Public verifies your identity and confirms you understand and intend the document — on a secure video call. You typically confirm with a one-time passcode sent to your phone.

Step 3 — Your POA is issued electronically

Once notarized, the POA is issued electronically in Arabic with a verifiable QR code that the receiving party can check. We can also arrange a stamped bilingual or printed original where you need one.

⚠ Confirm:The remote e-notary flow (secure video, OTP confirmation, QR-verified electronic output) and its typical timeline reflect the current Dubai Courts / private-notary process. Confirm availability and exact steps for your case at the time of booking.

When remote isn't available

Not every matter or jurisdiction qualifies for the video route. When it doesn't, we guide you through the home-country legalization chain instead — your local notary, your foreign ministry, the UAE embassy, MOFA in Dubai, then Arabic translation. Either way, you are never left to work out the sequence alone.
