Lease Contract Notarization & Executory Formula
Required Documents
Lease Value Planner & Notarization Readiness
Enter monthly rent, duration, and attendance status to understand the total contract value and likely notarization route, while government fees remain - until a fresh official verification is completed.
Step-by-Step Guide
Drafting & Reviewing the Rental Contract
Draft the lease agreement in a clear legal format ensuring the rights of both parties (Law 4 of 1996). Explicitly write a clause about returning the property. Prepare at least 3 original signed copies.
Going to the Designated Notary Branch
You must visit the specific Notary Office branch that geographically covers the rented property. Model or mall branches can notarize only if they fall inside the same governorate. Arrive early to secure a ticket.
Madam Afaf Tip: Never settle for just 'date verification' (إثبات تاريخ) and think it's enough! Notarizing the lease with the 'executory formula' protects you completely, giving you the immediate right to evict the tenant if they refuse to leave at lease end, without long court procedures.
Reviewing the Contract & Paying Notary Fees
Present the contracts and National IDs to the head notary officer. They will review the terms and signatures, then set the total charge according to the route, contract value, stamp duties, and the administrative fees applied at review time. Pay at the treasury and obtain the official payment receipt.
Signing the Official Notary Book & Stamping
Return to the notary with your payment receipt. Both landlord and tenant will be requested to sign and thumbprint in the official registry book. The notary will then stamp the three contract copies with the state eagle seal.
Adding the Executory Formula & Retrieving Copies
The official executory clause is written directly on the landlord's copy. The landlord collects this executive copy, the tenant collects their standard notarized copy, and the third copy is preserved in the Notary Office archives.
