Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has launched the Virtual Notarial Office to facilitate notarial services.
The new digital notary public will save clients’ time and effort, and eliminate the need for in-person visits.
The initiative is part of the ministry’s digitalisation efforts under Saudi Vision 2030.

In a statement, the Ministry of Justice said: “The Virtual Notarial Office strives to improve procedures, quality and efficiency of notarial services, as well as enhancing client satisfaction.
“It allows individuals and corporations to access notary services for powers of attorney, declarations and real estate through entirely digital processes.”
Available through the Najiz.sa portal, the Virtual Notarial Office can be accessed by going to “Notarial Services” on the portal, clicking “Virtual Notarial Office,” and filling out the notarial form.
The MoJ’s notarial team will examine the application, and the parties certify the form by SMS sent to registered phone numbers.
