U.S. citizens in the United Arab Emirates

# Online notary for U.S. citizens in the United Arab Emirates

The UAE keeps one time all year, so the gap with New Jersey changes when New Jersey changes its clocks. You can sign in front of a New Jersey notary over secure video from the United Arab Emirates, for a document connected to a U.S. court, agency, property or transaction. Sessions start at $50 plus the state notarial fee.

Signing from outside the U.S.? We can notarize when the document is for a U.S. court or agency, involves U.S. property, or relates to a transaction connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are. [Check your document](/notary/abroad-check).

Documents for use in the United Arab Emirates

## Apostille or remote notary?

Neither Wikipedia's table nor the Hague Conference's status table lists the United Arab Emirates as a party to the Apostille Convention. For a U.S. document meant for use there, expect a legalization route through the embassy instead of an apostille, and confirm with the receiving office.

Signing from the area? A video session with us still needs a U.S. connection, such as U.S. property or a U.S. court or agency matter. See [apostille services](/notary/apostille-services) for documents going the other way.

Embassy option

## The U.S. embassy in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the seat of the U.S. Embassy. Other U.S. posts in the country: Dubai.

The steps for a video session are the same from every country and are set out on [the hub page](/notary/us-citizens-abroad). See also [the State Department's notarial services page](https://travel.state.gov/en/replace-certify/authenticate-documents/authentication-abroad.html) for what consular posts offer.

This is not legal advice, and local rules in the area are not something we can speak to, so check with whoever will receive the document.

Looking for a particular document? See [notarizing a power of attorney, deed, affidavit or bank form from abroad](/notary/abroad-documents).
