Public Attestation Services are essential legal services provided by judicial authorities in the United Arab Emirates. They aim to document and confirm individuals’ declarations and legal acknowledgments before official entities, thereby safeguarding rights and regulating legal relationships in accordance with the country’s laws and regulations.
These services include a variety of attestations through which individuals can confirm or prove certain legal facts or relationships. The most common types include:
- Acknowledgment of Parentage: to legally document the relationship between parents and their children when required.
- Proof of Kinship: to confirm family relationships for submission to official or judicial authorities.
- Acknowledgment of Gift (Hiba): to document property transfer or donations between individuals in a legally recognized manner.
- Other General Attestations: such as financial declarations, authorizations, or other personal statements requiring official authentication.
These services are provided through Notary Public Departments in the courts or via digital judicial platforms, enabling users to submit and track applications remotely. This reflects the UAE’s commitment to digital transformation in judicial services and its efforts to facilitate easy, transparent access to justice.
