Dubai mainland companies are commercial entities registered with the UAE Ministry of Economic Development (DED), permitted to operate both within UAE and globally. Under recent reforms, foreign investors can now enjoy 100% ownership in most commercial activities without local sponsors. These companies can engage in diverse business activities including trade, manufacturing, professional services, etc. They benefit from complete market access across UAE and government subsidies. While requiring physical office space and specific licenses, they enable deeper local market integration and stronger partnerships.
The notarization and authentication of documents in Dubai typically includes the following steps:
1. Notarization: Submit the document to a local notary office in Dubai, where a notary public verifies the authenticity and legality of the document and stamps it with an official seal.
2. Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication: After notarization, the document must be submitted to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs or its designated authority for authentication to confirm the validity of the notary's signature and seal.
3. Embassy/Consulate authentication: If the document is to be used abroad, it must also be submitted to the embassy or consulate of the destination country (e.g., China) in the UAE for final authentication to ensure its legal validity in the target country.
