The deal has been expected over the past week with Newcastle exercising their option to sign him permanently after his loan spell at the club.
The Slovakian international joined on loan in January and made the number one position his own over the course of his five months at the club.
Newcastle struggled with a consistent number one goalkeeper over the past few seasons and now look set to have that position secured for the coming years.
Dubravka will now be looking to continue his form from last season onto next and impress yet again to further his international career ahead of a potential European Championship campaign in 2020.
