UAE to launch e-notary system to detect fake agencies
Sultan Al Badi, UAE’s Minister for Justice announced that a new electronic notary management system that can verify legal documents through a barcode and detect fake agencies would be soon introduced in the UAE.
He told the Federal National Council (FNC) that the updated mechanism for notary management involved placing a barcode on all transactions.
He pointed out that an agent who misuses the power of attorney regarding the sale of a property is liable to be prosecuted by a jail term and a penalty, or both, in accordance with Article 399 of the Penal Code.
