RIYADH: The Saudi Ministry of Justice said its Notarial Central Support Unit had verified and certified over 1.2 million applications since Oct. 2020.

The applications included 159,000 marriage e-contracts and 200,000 title deed digitization requests. Other applications included the registration of corporate accounts and probate certifications.

“The Central Support Unit works to enhance the digital transformation of notarial services and provide a unified operations center with standardized processes,” the ministry said. “It adopts technologies that support smart systems, decides on areas for strategic and rapid improvement, and governs digital notarial procedures.”

Acting as the operational arm of the ministry’s division for notarization and property registration, the department employs well-qualified notaries and provides a permanent digital channel for communication with internal and external agencies.
