Other emirates # Notary public in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi: where to check and how to prepare To find a notary public in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, start with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), the emirate's judicial authority, and its list of notary points. Check the ADJD site for the nearest point to your part of Mussafah, and whether it takes your document, before you set off. Notary Services in Dubai is a Dubai business with one office, in Business Bay. We do not have an office in Mussafah or anywhere in Abu Dhabi. What we do for Mussafah customers is the preparation, done remotely: the drafting, the Arabic translation and a checklist, so the visit to the Abu Dhabi notary works the first time. * Notary work in Abu Dhabi sits with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department. Its notary page is [adjd.gov.ae](https://www.adjd.gov.ae/EN/Pages/notarypublics.aspx), and its service manual lists the ADJD website as the channel for notary applications, with the meeting held remotely. * Check the ADJD list for the notary point nearest to your part of Mussafah. * A document for an Abu Dhabi authority is normally signed in Abu Dhabi. A document for Dubai may be simpler to sign in Dubai. * Notarised instruments are in Arabic. Bring a legal translation for anything in another language. * Mussafah is an industrial and commercial district, so much of its notary work is company paperwork. ## Sign in Abu Dhabi or in Dubai? Mussafah is a long drive from Dubai, so the first question is whether the document has to be signed in Abu Dhabi at all. * **For an Abu Dhabi authority, court, bank branch or landlord**, sign before the notary in Abu Dhabi. Our [Abu Dhabi notary guide](https://notaryservicesindubai.com/notary-public-abu-dhabi-marina-mall/) explains how to check the ADJD offices, Marina Mall included. * **For a Dubai authority**, such as a Dubai property or a Dubai court matter, it is often simpler to sign in Dubai, before a Dubai Courts notary or a Dubai private notary. * **For use abroad**, a notarisation from either emirate normally moves on to MOFAIC and then to the embassy of the country concerned; confirm with the receiver that it has no preference. If you live in Mussafah and work in Dubai, you may be able to sign in Dubai on a working day. Tell us who will read the document and we will say which is simpler. ## What Mussafah companies need Mussafah's workshops, factories, warehouses and contractors bring the same company documents to a notary again and again: * authority for a site manager, PRO or driver to act, given as a power of attorney, * a [vehicle power of attorney](https://notaryservicesindubai.com/vehicle-power-of-attorney-in-dubai/) for company trucks, plant or cars, * signature authentication on supply and subcontract agreements, * board or partners' resolutions for banks and licensing. The notary will want the trade licence, the company's MOA or articles, and proof that the person signing may sign for the company. If the company is licensed in Dubai but operates in Mussafah, the licence's emirate can decide where the document should be signed. ## Workers and families in Mussafah Many people living in and around Mussafah need documents for their home country: a declaration, an affidavit, a consent for a child's travel, or a power of attorney for a relative back home. For documents to be used at home, your own country's embassy in Abu Dhabi may be the right office. Our [consulate notary guide](https://notaryservicesindubai.com/document-attestation/) explains how to choose between your mission and a UAE notary.
