Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has introduced a digital notary services platform for conducting notary transactions and attestations using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
This platform provides approved templates and forms for powers of attorney, declarations, and contracts based on carefully defined standards by notary publics, enabling the instant approval of transactions without human intervention, in both Arabic and English.
Counselor Yousef Said Al Abri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, confirmed that the digital transformation in the judicial system is in line with the directives of Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court and Chairman of ADJD, to continue improving various sectors and benefiting from modern technologies to provide quality services according to the highest international standards, enhancing the competitive position of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Counselor Al Abri further explained that the launch of the platform represents a qualitative leap in utilizing AI to complete notary transactions and authentications at all stages, facilitating the application for the service through available electronic channels and reducing the time required to complete power of attorney transactions, declarations, and contracts, enriching the experience of users with interactive and innovative services from the Judicial Department.
In detail, the features of the digital platform include improving the process of completing notary transactions and authentications by shortening unnecessary steps and reducing the required inputs by utilizing user data from the government data interchange after registration with the UAE Pass.
This is particularly useful for transactions related to lands owned in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, licensed vehicles, commercial licenses issued by the Emirate, registered cases, and powers of attorney issued by the Judicial Department.
Additionally, the platform leverages advanced technologies to streamline processes by replacing manual signatures with digital authentication via the UAE Pass and the Government Data Interchange Platform. It extracts the necessary documents for transactions, uses visual communication tools for cases requiring a visit to the notary public, and offers pre-approved templates and forms that meet set standards, eliminating the need for manual review. Once completed, the approved transaction is issued and delivered electronically.
This innovative approach enhances efficiency, reduces the need for human intervention, and accelerates the entire notary and attestation process.
