Declaration of unemployment

In short

  • Price from AED 600 for the declaration, with the government fee paid on top at cost.
  • Who signs: you, the person who is not working.
  • What to bring: original passport and Emirates ID, and the request from the receiving office.

Three ways to get it notarised

In person with our in-house notary public

Bring your originals to our office. The notary public checks each signer's original ID, reads the document, watches you sign and applies the seal.

Home, hospital or office visit

Our home visit private notary service comes to you. The same checks and the same seal apply. Home visit price is a quote on request, plus the Dubai private notary government fee of AED 1,000 per trip outside the place of work.

Online

Notary public online, through the official UAE channels: the Ministry of Justice e-notary or Dubai Courts remote attendance. Read how it works on the e-notary page.

Sample wording

Sample wording for a declaration of unemployment

Fill each square bracket. If the office gave you its own form, use that.

This is your own statement, not a letter from an employer or a government body. The receiving authority decides what it accepts; check its list first.

2. I have not been employed since [DATE].

3. I am [SUPPORTED BY (NAME AND RELATIONSHIP) / LIVING ON MY SAVINGS].

4. I make this declaration for submission to [NAME OF OFFICE OR AUTHORITY].

The above is true and correct.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is a declaration of unemployment UAE offices accept the same as a government certificate?

No. It is your own signed statement. The office that asked for it tells you whether it wants a declaration or a paper from an authority.

Can I sign it without a notary public?

You can write it, but the notary public is the one who checks your ID and seals it. Without that, the office has no proof of who signed.

Is there an unemployment certificate Dubai PDF I can download?

There is no file to download. Copy the wording above and send it to us with your details.

Do I need an Arabic version?

Some offices want one. A legal translator can make it, and we can order it with the declaration.
