# Is Dubai Court Open on Saturday? What to Check Before You Go

Is Dubai court open on Saturday? Do not assume it is. Hours depend on the court, the branch and the service, so check the branch before you travel. If your document is a notarial one, our in-house notary public can notarise it in person at our Business Bay office, online or on a home visit, and we are available 24/7.

WhatsApp +971 52 947 5935 and tell us what you need signed.

## Is Dubai Court Open on Saturday? What to Check

Dubai Courts is a government body, and each service has its own branch and schedule. We do not publish court hours for you because they can change and differ by service. Before you go, check these points:

* The service you need, for example notary, case filing or a document request.
* The branch that provides that service.
* The opening days and hours shown for that branch on the Dubai Courts website.
* Whether you need an appointment.

Our page on [Dubai Courts services](https://notarypublicindubai.com/2026/10/22/dubai-court-services/) explains which service sits where. To reach the court by phone, email or customer care, see [how to reach Dubai Courts](https://notarypublicindubai.com/2025/07/17/dubai-court-customer-care/).

## Dubai Court Notary or Private Notary: Which One Is Open

Dubai has a Government notary public (Dubai Courts) and private notaries on a roll kept by Dubai Courts. A private notary in Dubai is a lawyer licensed by Dubai Courts to carry out notarial acts. Notaries are regulated by Dubai Law No. 4 of 2013, and the Dubai Courts [notary public page](https://www.dubaicourts.gov.ae/portal/page/portal/dc/notary_public) describes the service.

This matters for a Saturday. The government notary follows the court's schedule. A private notary sets its own appointments. Our in-house notary public is available 24/7 for appointments, home visits and online sessions, so a weekend does not stop your document.

## What We Do When the Court Is Not an Option

If your document needs notarising and you cannot wait, we do the work this way:

You send us the document or your request on WhatsApp.

We draft it in Arabic and English where it needs it.

Our in-house notary public checks your identity, witnesses the signing and notarises it.

We hand it to you.

You can sign in person at our office, online or at home. Some matters, such as a power of attorney for a court case, still go to the court afterwards. Read about a [special power of attorney for a court case](https://notarypublicindubai.com/power-of-attorney/court-case/).

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is Dubai court open on Saturday?

Do not assume so. Hours depend on the branch and service, so check the Dubai Courts website for your branch before you travel. If you need a notary on a weekend, contact us.

### How do I contact Dubai Courts?

Use the contact details on the Dubai Courts website, or see our guide to [reaching Dubai Courts](https://notarypublicindubai.com/2025/07/17/dubai-court-customer-care/). For short answers on powers of attorney and fees, see our [Dubai Courts notary FAQ](https://notarypublicindubai.com/faq/).

### How to get NOC from Dubai Court?

Ask the court or the party that needs the NOC which wording it requires. Then send us the draft or the request, and our in-house notary public notarises it. We confirm what the document needs before you sign.

### Can a notary work on Saturday?

Our in-house notary public is available 24/7 for appointments, home visits and online sessions. Whether your document can be done online depends on the document, and we tell you when you contact us.

### Does a private notary replace Dubai Courts?

No. A private notary does the notarial act, but a court matter still follows the court's own process. We prepare the document; for a dispute you need a practising advocate.
