Notarise Your Documents in Sharjah
Documents You Need
- The document to be notarized — or the details we need to draft it with you
- The original Emirates ID of every signatory (residents), or the original passport (non-residents and visitors)
- Supporting papers, for example a title deed for a property POA, or the trade licence and MOA for company documents
- An Arabic translation or a bilingual Arabic–English version, if the document is not already in Arabic — we prepare it for you
How It Works — Step by Step
- Tell us what you need on WhatsApp or email, or visit our Sharjah office, and get a free quote within 10–30 minutes.
- Drafting — we prepare the document in Arabic and English and send it to you for review before anything is signed.
- Notary appointment — we book the session in person or by video through the competent notary platform (for example Dubai Courts, the Ministry of Justice e-Notary service or the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department) and check IDs beforehand.
- Signing — you sign or confirm the document in front of the notary, who verifies identity and applies the notary seal.
- Collection or delivery — collect the notarized document at our Sharjah office or receive it through our free delivery. If it will be used abroad, we can arrange MOFA attestation and embassy legalization.

Preparing a Sharjah notarization
Documents notarized in Sharjah go before the Sharjah Courts notary or the federal MOJ notary (which one depends on the document and where it will be used), and they must be in Arabic or bilingual. The Al Majaz team:
- drafts the power of attorney, affidavit, NOC, undertaking or agreement in Arabic and English
- has supporting documents translated by our MOJ-certified legal translators
- checks that every signatory has the right ID: Emirates ID for residents, passport for visitors
- chooses the right channel (Sharjah Courts or MOJ), books the appointment in person or remotely where available, and tells you exactly what to bring
The notary, not Wordcraft, notarizes the document. Our part is a complete, correctly worded file, so the appointment is not wasted.
Common Sharjah cases
Typical requests at Al Majaz include property and vehicle powers of attorney, POAs for family members abroad to act in Sharjah courts, company resolutions and MOA amendments for SEDD and Sharjah free zone companies, and consent letters for school or travel matters. Ajman residents are also served from Al Majaz; we arrange collection of originals when you order.
A tip for Sharjah customers: if a relative abroad needs to give you a POA for use in Sharjah, it is usually faster to have it notarized in their country and attested through the UAE embassy there, then translated into Arabic by us. We explain the route in your quote.
Directions and the branch's 54 Google reviews are on the Sharjah Al Majaz office page.
After the notary: attestation
If the notarized document will be used abroad, it usually needs digital MOFA attestation and then the destination embassy. The Al Majaz team can arrange both straight after the notary session; see certificate attestation in Sharjah. A document used only inside Sharjah does not normally need attestation, and your written quote says so when that applies.
Sharjah Notary Offices and Online Channels
A notary public in Sharjah can be reached through the Sharjah Judicial Department, through notary counters at government service centers, or online. Private notaries licensed in the emirate add more appointment options. The main channels compare like this:
| Channel | What it handles | How you attend |
|---|---|---|
| Sharjah Courts notary (Sharjah Judicial Department) | POAs, acknowledgments, contracts, declarations and court-related documents | In person, with original ID and the Arabic or bilingual document |
| Notary counters at government service centers, such as SAEED (Sharjah Investors Services Centre) | Everyday POAs, declarations, and sale and lease contracts for individuals and investors | In person |
| Sharjah Judiciary Platform | Notarization, acknowledgments and POAs completed remotely | Online with UAE PASS, with a video check where required |
| Federal Ministry of Justice notary and e-Notary | Documents where a federal notary suits the file, and signatories using a passport | In person or by video |
| Licensed private notaries in Sharjah | Appointments outside government hours | At the notary's office |
Each authority sets its own counter locations and opening times, and both change, especially around public holidays and during Ramadan. We confirm the right counter, the slot and the papers to bring when we book. Official sources: the Sharjah Judicial Council and the UAE Ministry of Justice. Our office hours and a map are on the Wordcraft Sharjah branch page.
Private Notary in Sharjah
Private notaries licensed in Sharjah can notarize many of the documents the court notary handles, usually with more flexible appointments. They suit company files with several signatories, urgent POAs, and people who cannot reach a government counter during working hours.
Three checks come before any booking: the notary is licensed and the license covers your type of document; the receiving authority (a bank, a court, a land or licensing department) accepts a private-notary deed; and the draft is ready in Arabic and English, so the session is not spent fixing wording. The Al Majaz team runs all three checks and then books the appointment. Wordcraft does not notarize anything itself.
Notarize, Attest or Both? Sharjah Scenarios
| Situation | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Tenancy or vehicle POA for use in Sharjah | Notary only |
| Affidavit for a Sharjah court or school | Notary, plus Arabic legal translation of any foreign-language papers behind it |
| POA signed in Sharjah for property in India or Egypt | Notary, then MOFA attestation (digital), then that country's embassy or consulate |
| Marriage or birth certificate issued abroad for a Sharjah residency or court file | No UAE notary: home-country authentication and the UAE embassy there (which now includes MOFA digitally), then Arabic legal translation |
| Sharjah company resolution sent to a parent company abroad | Notary, MOFA, destination embassy, and translation if that country works in another language |
If your case is not in the table, send a photo of the document and tell us where it is going; the written quote names each step. Related: certificate attestation in Sharjah and legal translation in Sharjah.
More Questions About Notary Public in Sharjah
What are the Sharjah notary public timings?
Government notary counters in Sharjah keep official working hours, close at weekends and shorten their hours in Ramadan. The Sharjah Judiciary Platform and private notaries widen the options. We confirm the slot when we book, and our Al Majaz office also opens on Saturdays (hours on the branch page).
Do I need an appointment with a notary in Sharjah?
For online sessions and private notaries, yes. For government counters it depends on the service, and booking ahead saves a wasted trip. We make the booking and send you a short checklist.
What does "notary public attestation" mean in Sharjah?
People use the phrase for two different steps: a Sharjah notary confirming a signature, and MOFA plus an embassy attesting a document for use abroad. Some documents need one step, some need both, as the table above shows.
Can a private notary in Sharjah notarize my POA?
In many cases, yes, provided the notary's license covers POAs and the authority that will rely on the POA accepts it. Property and court POAs deserve an extra check, which we do before booking.
I live in Ajman. Can I use a notary in Sharjah?
Yes. You do not have to live in Sharjah to sign before a notary there, and the MOJ e-Notary is open to residents of every emirate. Our Al Majaz team prepares documents for Ajman customers and collects originals across Ajman.
Sharjah Notary Routes: Court Counter, Video Session or Licensed Notary
Looking for a notary public in Sharjah: or one near you? Our Sharjah branch works with both the Sharjah courts notary and the federal MOJ notary. In practice there are three routes, and the right one depends on your document, where the other parties are, and how quickly you need it:
| Route | Best for | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Notary at the Sharjah courts, or the federal Ministry of Justice (MOJ) notary | Sharjah residents signing in person, company documents and POAs for local use; we choose whichever suits your document | Original Emirates ID and a bilingual Arabic–English document |
| E-notary by video (such as the MOJ e-Notary) | Busy residents, signatories in other emirates or abroad, visitors on a passport | A device with a camera, Emirates ID or passport, a PDF of the document |
| Licensed notary in another emirate | Urgent appointments, out-of-hours slots, or a document that will be used in Dubai | The same ID rules; we book and brief the notary |
We prepare the document, provide the Arabic legal translation, pick the route and book it. You sign, and the notary notarizes. To sign remotely; see online notarization.
Documents We Prepare for Sharjah Notaries
- Powers of attorney: general, special, property and vehicle POAs, and POAs from abroad (see power of attorney services)
- No objection certificates: employer, sponsor, landlord, spouse and child travel consent (see NOC services)
- Sworn affidavits and undertakings: single status, name declarations, financial undertakings
- Company documents: MOA and amendments, board and partner resolutions, share transfers
- Agreements: MOUs, sale and settlement agreements
Every document is drafted in Arabic and English. If you bring an English-only or foreign-language document, our MOJ-certified translators prepare the legal translation in Sharjah first, so the notary can accept it on the spot.
What the Notary Checks in Sharjah Before You Sign
- Identity: original Emirates ID for residents; a valid passport for visitors and non-residents, where the document allows it
- Language: an Arabic or bilingual Arabic–English text; foreign-language papers need a certified legal translation
- Capacity: for companies, a trade license and a resolution or MOA showing the signatory's authority
- Consistency: names, ID numbers and property or vehicle details matching the supporting documents exactly
We check each point before booking, so your appointment is not postponed for a missing paper.
Notary Public Attestation in Sharjah: Notarize, Then MOFA and Embassy
Many people searching for "notary public attestation in Sharjah" need two different things: notarization (a notary confirms your signature on a document you sign in the UAE) and attestation (MOFA and an embassy confirm the document so it is accepted in another country). If your Sharjah-signed POA or affidavit will be used abroad, the chain is: notary → UAE MOFA attestation (now digital, verifiable online) → the destination country's embassy or consulate. Our Sharjah office runs the whole chain, as described on the notarization for use abroad and MOFA attestation pages.
