Notary on call in Dubai: home visit notary public, 24/7
A notary on call is a notary public who comes to you, at home, in hospital or at your office, instead of you going to a notary centre. Our in-house notary public makes home visits across Dubai and the UAE, day and night, for powers of attorney, affidavits, consents and other documents. We prepare the paperwork first, so the visit is one short meeting.
Call or WhatsApp +971 52 947 5935 with the document, the signer's situation and the address. We are available 24/7.
When a mobile notary visit makes sense
- The signer is in hospital or recovering at home.
- The signer is elderly or has a disability that makes travel hard.
- Several people must sign together at one place, such as company partners at an office.
- The signer cannot use a video session, for example because they have no suitable device.
For most other people, coming to our Business Bay office or using an online session is simpler. See our Dubai Courts notary guide and online notarisation guide.
Capacity: the question every visit turns on
When the signer is ill, the notary's main check is capacity: does the person understand what they sign, and are they signing of their own will? If the notary is not satisfied, the document is not notarised, however far the notary travelled.
This matters most for a power of attorney. The principal must understand what powers they give. If a family member's condition may affect that, speak to the treating doctor first. If the person has already lost capacity, a POA is no longer the route. A court process is needed, and that is a matter for a lawyer.

Step by step
What we prepare before the notary arrives
The document.
For a POA, each power the agent needs, written act by act. A POA in general terms covers acts of management only (Federal Decree-Law No. 25 of 2025, Article 871).
The Arabic.
A legal translator registered with the UAE Ministry of Justice translates it, and we prepare the bilingual text.
IDs.
The signer's original passport and Emirates ID must be at the bedside. The agent's Emirates ID or passport details go into the POA.
The supporting paper.
The title deed, vehicle ownership certificate or trade licence, as the subject requires.
The visit.
We agree the time with the hospital or family and confirm the address and access.
What it costs
Price
Price
Our home visit is quoted on request, because it depends on the document and the place. Preparing a POA starts from AED 1,500. On the Dubai private notary route, the fee schedule sets AED 1,000 per trip outside the place of work, plus AED 100 per party for registration and AED 100 per signature. All service prices are starting prices and are negotiable. Government fees are paid on top, at cost, exactly as the authority charges them. We confirm your final price before you pay.

Questions
Questions about a notary on call
Will a notary visit a patient in a Dubai hospital?
Yes. Our in-house notary public visits hospitals. Hospital visiting rules also apply, so we agree the visit with the hospital.
Is a mobile notary the same as an online notary?
No. A mobile notary comes to you in person. An online session replaces any visit, where your document allows it.
What if the signer cannot sign their name?
Tell us before the visit. Under Dubai Law No. 4 of 2013, a party who cannot sign gives a fingerprint instead (Article 30). A party whose illness or disability prevents both may name another person to sign or give a fingerprint for them (Article 31).
Can a relative sign instead of the person in hospital?
Only with an existing POA that gives them that act. Otherwise the person themselves must sign or confirm before the notary.
Can I book at night or at the weekend?
Yes. Service is available 24/7. Call or WhatsApp +971 52 947 5935.
