Notary Public in Ajman: POA Drafting & Online Steps

Looking for a notary public in Ajman? Notary services in Ajman come under the UAE Ministry of Justice, which offers an electronic service for powers of attorney, contracts and declarations using UAE PASS. Wordcraft is not a notary: our Sharjah office drafts the document in Arabic and English, translates the supporting papers and arranges the notarization for Ajman customers.

We have no office in Ajman. You are served from our Al Majaz office in Sharjah and on WhatsApp, and free pickup and delivery of documents is available in Ajman.

How Notarization Works in Ajman

Ajman's courts are part of the federal judiciary, so the notary public there works under the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry's service "Writing and authentication of contracts and deeds" covers general powers of attorney, special powers of attorney and sale contracts, and it lists these steps:

Register with UAE PASS.
Submit the application electronically and choose the type of document.
Pay the fee.
Sign the document using UAE PASS.
Receive the notarized document electronically.

The Ministry's page also says a request is cancelled electronically if the fee is not paid or the document is not signed within 20 days of the payment link arriving, and it lists a service time of one day. Treat that as the Ministry's own figure; your case can take longer if the draft is returned for changes.

Documents You Need

Case	What to prepare
Power of attorney (general or special)	ID of the person giving the power and of the person receiving it, and a clear list of what the attorney may do
Signing for someone else	The power of attorney or other document that authorises you to represent them
Company documents	Trade licence, memorandum of association and proof of who may sign for the company
Property or vehicle matters	Title deed or ownership card, plus the IDs of all parties
Declarations and undertakings	Your ID and the exact wording the receiving office has asked for

The Ministry's page asks for the identity documents of the parties and, where relevant, the power of attorney that authorises a representative, with originals and copies according to the type of document.

What Wordcraft Does for Ajman Customers

You send the details on WhatsApp: who is signing, what the document must allow and where it will be used.
We draft the document in Arabic and English and send it to you to check names, ID numbers and powers.
We translate any supporting paper the notary needs in Arabic. Our legal translations are done by MOJ-licensed legal translators.
We arrange the notarization and guide you through the signing step.
You receive the notarized document, and we arrange attestation afterwards if it is going abroad.

Documents we prepare most often: powers of attorney, no objection certificates, declarations, undertakings, and company resolutions.

What the Notary Checks Before You Sign

That every signer's ID is valid and the names match the document exactly.
That anyone signing for another person or for a company has the authority to do so.
That the wording is lawful and clear about what is being granted or declared.
That supporting papers in another language come with an Arabic legal translation where required.

Most returned requests come back for a name mismatch or a missing authority document, so we check both before anything is submitted.

Notarize, Attest or Both?

A document that stays in the UAE usually needs notarization only. A document going abroad is normally notarized first and then attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy of the country where it will be used. A document coming from abroad works the other way round: it is attested first, then translated. Tell us where the paper will be used and we confirm the order before we start.

What Decides the Cost

The cost depends on the type of document, how long it is, whether supporting papers need translation, and the notary fee set by the authority. We do not publish prices. Government fees are payable at cost, and we confirm the exact fee and our service charge in writing before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wordcraft have an office in Ajman?

No. Wordcraft has no office in Ajman. Ajman customers are served by our Sharjah office in Al Majaz and on WhatsApp. Send the details of the document you need and we reply with a written quote.

Is Wordcraft a notary public?

No. Wordcraft is not a notary and not a government office. We draft the document in Arabic and English, prepare the legal translation of supporting papers and arrange the notarization with the notary. The notary decides whether to notarize.

Who notarizes documents in Ajman?

Ajman's courts are part of the UAE federal judiciary, so notary public services there come under the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry also keeps a register of licensed private notaries. Which route fits depends on the document, so tell us what it is for.

Can a power of attorney be notarized online in Ajman?

The Ministry of Justice lists an electronic service for contracts and deeds, including general and special powers of attorney. Its steps are: register with UAE PASS, submit the application electronically, pay the fee, sign with UAE PASS and receive the document electronically. Check the Ministry's page for the current steps.

What do I need to send you to start?

A clear photo of the Emirates ID or passport of each person signing, the details of what the document must say, and any supporting paper such as a trade licence, title deed or earlier power of attorney. If a signer acts for someone else, we also need the document that gives that authority.

Do I need UAE PASS?

The Ministry of Justice's electronic notary service uses UAE PASS to register and to sign. If you or the other party do not have UAE PASS, tell us at the start and we check with you which route is open for your document.

My document is in English. Does it need Arabic?

Notary documents in the UAE are normally in Arabic or in Arabic and another language side by side. We draft in Arabic and English, and supporting papers in other languages are translated by MOJ-licensed legal translators where the notary asks for it.

Will the notarized document work outside the UAE?

A document notarized in the UAE and going abroad usually needs attestation after notarization, starting with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then the embassy of the destination country. Ask the receiving office what it needs, and we arrange the steps in order.

How is the price decided?

The price depends on the type of document, its length, whether translation is needed and the notary fee set by the authority. We do not publish prices. Government fees are payable at cost, and we confirm them and our service charge in writing before any work begins.

Can you collect documents from me in Ajman?

Yes. Free pickup and delivery of documents is available in Ajman, as in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. Many notary documents are prepared and signed electronically, so often nothing needs to be collected at all.
