A Riyadh notary public operates under legal authority to provide official verification and authentication of executed documents ensuring their legal legitimacy. The official signature with stamp validates that parties consented voluntarily to the document as well as verifies their identities and ensures alignment with Saudi legal provisions.
Notarial services in Saudi Arabia are regulated by the Ministry of Justice through which notaries across Riyadh perform their legal duties concerning property deals along with power of attorney documents and affidavits and contracts and business authorizations and declarations. Notarial acts established in the Kingdom receive recognition from local institutions along with international bodies when the countries have relevant diplomatic agreements and consular authentication protocols.
