What it does · real screens

Sign documents on a phone: the screens your team will use.

Captured from our own running copy with invented sample data: a Dubai brokerage and a Riyadh trading company, two templates, 13 documents. Names and numbers are not real customers.

  1. “The landlord says he can’t print anything where he is.”

    Signers sign on their phone, in Arabic or English

    The link opens a step-by-step form: one field, then the next, then the signature pad. When the phone is set to Arabic the page is in Arabic, right to left. No app to install and no account to create, so nobody asks you to send the PDF instead.

  2. “The addendum has to reach the tenant first, then the landlord, then us.”

Electronic signature and the law

What you can sign here, and what stays on Ejari, Ejar, Qiwa and MOHRE.

Whether a signature counts depends on the document, not the software. This is what we found in the law and on the government platforms, checked in October 2026. It is not legal advice; ask your lawyer about your own documents.

The full price list

Every band, option and fee, in writing.

You pay per sender per month: the people in your team who send documents for signing. The price per sender drops as your team grows, and each band’s price applies only to the senders inside that band. Signers are free and unlimited: tenants, landlords, candidates and customers never need an account or a seat.

6 to 20494913.34
21 to 5035359.53

Worked example. A brokerage with 12 agents who send leases pays 5 × 69 + 7 × 49 = AED 688 a month (SAR 688, USD 187.34). With 30 senders it is AED 1,430. With 3 senders the monthly minimum of AED 349 applies.

Setup covers your copy in the region you choose, your email sending, your first templates built from your own documents (3, 6 or 12 by band), and training for your senders in Arabic and English. Extra work is AED/SAR 450 an hour.

Billed at cost, outside the sender price. Email sending if we provide it, and a company certificate from a licensed provider if you want one on the signed file. Annual prepay takes 15% off. Prices exclude 5% UAE VAT and 15% Saudi VAT.

Not in this price. Automatic reminders, SMS codes, bulk sending from a spreadsheet, single sign-on and your own logo on the signing page come from a paid upstream licence. If you need them, we quote that licence at cost before you sign anything.

FAQ

What Gulf teams ask first.

Is an electronic signature legal in the UAE?
Yes, for most private documents. Federal Decree-Law 46 of 2021 lets you use any form of electronic signature unless another law says otherwise. Some documents still have their own route: Ejari registration, MOHRE contracts, property transfers at DLD, and anything a notary or court must see. The table above lists them.
Is it binding in Saudi Arabia? Does it use Nafath?
Partly. Saudi law gives full weight to signatures backed by a certificate from a licensed provider, usually with Nafath. Mindcat Sign does not issue those certificates or use Nafath. Use it for offer letters, internal approvals and acknowledgements, and use a licensed provider such as emdha or Signit for contracts that need that weight.
Will Ejari accept a lease signed this way?
It depends on DLD, not on us. Registration happens on Dubai REST or at a trustee centre, and DLD decides what it accepts. What you bring is one signed PDF with every party’s signature and its audit log.
Can we sign the MOHRE or Qiwa contract with it?
No. The MOHRE offer and contract and the Qiwa contract are signed inside those systems. Use Mindcat Sign for your own offer letter before them, and for NDAs, policies and handover forms after.
What is the difference between an electronic and a digital signature?
An electronic signature is any sign of agreement on a document, such as a drawn signature with an audit log. A digital signature uses a certificate. Every file Mindcat Sign completes carries a certificate that shows whether it was changed later; by default that certificate is ours, and you can add your own company certificate during setup. It is not a per-signer certificate from a licensed provider.
Does the signer need an app, an account or UAE PASS?
No. Signers open a link on any phone or computer and sign. They don’t need to install anything or create an account.
Is the signing page in Arabic?
Yes. It switches to Arabic, right to left, when the signer’s phone or browser is set to Arabic. The screens your own team uses are in English today; we add Arabic during setup.
Where are the documents stored?
In the UAE on shared servers. On your own servers, in the UAE or in Jeddah or Riyadh, whichever you choose. In your own cloud, wherever your account is. Backups stay in the same country. Only the Mindcat engineers who run your copy can reach its servers, for updates and support; in your own cloud, your IT team decides who has access.
Does it send reminders?
No, not automatically. The documents list shows who hasn’t signed, and you can resend or copy the link in two clicks. Automatic reminders need a paid upstream licence, which we can quote at cost.
Can my clients see our logo?
Not today. Emails go out under your company name, and the signing page carries the Mindcat Sign mark. Your own logo on the signing page needs a paid upstream licence, which we can quote at cost.
What counts as a sender?
Anyone in your team who sends at least one document for signing in a month. People who only sign, and admins who only look, are free.
Is there a DocuSign alternative with data in the UAE?
This is one. Mindcat Sign stores your documents in the UAE, or in Saudi Arabia on your own copy, and we set it up with your templates. The compare table above shows the prices side by side.
What is it built on?
Mindcat Sign is built on DocuSeal, licensed under AGPL-3.0, and any changes we make to it will be released under the same licence. The signing page keeps a small “Powered by DocuSeal” line because the licence asks for it. What you pay us for is the hosting in the region, the setup, your templates and running it.
