In the UAE, power of attorney documents are becoming a crucial component of both corporate and personal paperwork. Most people usually utilize this document to provide someone else permission to conduct transactions in the United Arab Emirates.
In the United Arab Emirates, two (2) forms of powers of attorney are frequently utilized:
Personal Power of Attorney
Within this category, there are two (2) different kinds of powers of attorney:
(a) General Power of Attorne
In Dubai and the other United Arab Emirates, a general power of attorney is granted by one person (the principal) on behalf of another person (the attorney). In Dubai and throughout the United Arab Emirates, the principals usually grant general power of attorney to their spouses or acquaintances to handle transactions that they are unable to handle themselves. In the United Arab Emirates, general powers of attorney are also utilized for the establishment of businesses, the acquisition of any other goods, and the management of real estate.
(b) Special Power of Attorney
When the principle wants the attorney to sell any particular item, like real estate, cars, or company shares, a unique power of attorney is used in Dubai and other UAE cities. In Dubai and the other UAE Emirates, special powers of attorney are also utilized to complete any other transaction having a restricted scope.
Types of Special Powers of Attorney in Dubai and UAE (Personal)
Property POA
In Dubai and the UAE, a Property POA is a legal instrument that gives permission to another individual (the attorney) to purchase, sell, rent, or handle your property.
Property Dispute POA
In the event of a property-related disagreement, you can choose another person—the attorney—to represent you by signing a Property disagreement POA in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. The person hired will act as your attorney and represent you before the appropriate authorities, such as the land department.
Vehicle POA
This power of attorney is for the purpose of selling your vehicle in Dubai or any other UAE Emirate. A Vehicle POA appoints a different person to handle transactions pertaining to your car. These transactions could involve any kind of purchase, sale, export, registration renewal, etc.
Marriage POA
In the event of a marriage ceremony occurring in the United Arab Emirates, a Marriage POA designates an alternate person to provide approval in lieu of the bride’s father. To represent the bride’s father, a male representative must be nominated and at least 21 years old.
Court Case POA
You can designate someone else to represent you in court with this kind of power of attorney. The authorized person is able to select attorneys to handle the matter in Dubai or any other UAE Emirate.
Police Clearance POA
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), which is required before police departments in Dubai or anyplace else in the UAE, can be obtained with this kind of UAE POA. A PCC is typically needed for a number of reasons connected to school and employment, and it may be necessary to exhibit good behavior.
Inheritance POA
An Inheritance POA is a particular kind of UAE power of attorney required to give someone else the legal right to act on your behalf during a deceased person’s inheritance processes. You may designate another person to get probate orders and see that the probate process is completed if you are the legitimate heir to the deceased person’s property.
Child Travel POA
This kind of UAE power of attorney permits a child’s travel companion to be someone other than the child’s parents or legal guardians. Some countries feel that a POA of this kind is required for travel by air or sea.
Corporate Power of Attorney
There are two (2) types of powers of attorney within this category:
(a) Company Power of Attorney
This POA is comparable to a general power of attorney, except that it is granted to a person with extensive authority to handle the business’s affairs by the shareholder(s) of the company. This POA gives the lawyer all the authority they need to operate on the company’s behalf.
(b) Special Power of Attorney
For businesses located in Dubai and other UAE Emirates, the shareholder(s) grants the attorney a highly particular and restricted power to execute one (1) or more transactions. To make sure that the scope of the instrument does not permit the attorney to carry out any other transactions, the transactions to be carried out under this power of attorney are explicitly mentioned in the POA.
Types of Special Powers of Attorney in Dubai and UAE (Corporate)
General Manager POA
The general manager of the company may be given authority by the shareholders through a General Manager POA. The authority encompasses managing the day-to-day operations of the business, recruiting and firing staff, executing contracts, and more.
Local Partner POA
This kind of UAE POA is typically given to investors to provide them complete control over the business’s operations via a local partner. This kind of POA grants nearly identical powers to a general manager POA.
Company Formation POA
A power of attorney for business formation is used by the shareholder to grant authority for the firm’s incorporation. These authority usually entails submitting applications and finishing all other steps involved with setting up a business with the economic department or free zone authorities in Dubai and other United Arab Emirates Emirates.
Share Sale POA
For the purpose of granting someone else the power to sell or transfer firm shares on their behalf, a Share Sale POA in the United Arab Emirates is drafted. With the help of such a POA, the person is able to sign share sale and other relevant agreements on behalf of the shareholder or shareholders and carry out all other operations associated with the sale of business shares.
Share Purchase POA
By using a Share Purchase POA, the buyer can designate another person as their representative to sign the share purchase and any associated agreements, as well as to handle all the paperwork involved in buying business shares.
Business/Assets Sale POA
An individual can be granted authority by the owner of a corporation to sell the company’s investments and assets through the use of a Business/Assets Sale POA in the United Arab Emirates.
Business/Assets Purchase POA
A Power of Attorney (POA) allows one buyer to transfer ownership of a company’s assets and operations to another party.
Litigation POA
A Litigation POA gives the business the ability to designate lawyers and designate a representative to act on its behalf in court. The person in question may be an employee of the business.
The following easy procedures can be used to notarize a power of attorney in Dubai and other UAE Emirates:
1. Preparation of draft
First, a draft power of attorney is created, taking into account the particular needs of the principle, the person drafting the power of attorney.
2. Arabic translation
As mandated by the UAE Notary Public, the POA draft must be translated into Arabic by a legal translator who holds a valid license from the Ministry of Justice in the United Arab Emirates.
3. Notarization
There are two (2) methods of notarizing a POA in the UAE.
Physical (In-person) Notarization
In the United Arab Emirates, powers of attorney are executed and recorded with a Notary Public. It normally takes the principle 20 to 30 minutes to complete the registration process, which requires them to visit the closest Notary Public in the appropriate Emirate.
E-Notarization
POAs are registered by the Notary Public via video conference in certain Emirates, like Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The Power of Attorney can be e-notarized by courts in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but it will be recognized throughout the United Arab Emirates.
The principal may sign a power of attorney that must be used within the United Arab Emirates while they are not in the country. For such a power of attorney to be enforceable in the United Arab Emirates, the following procedure must be completed after the draft has been prepared. It should be mentioned that this procedure can be used for complicated powers of attorney that include several tiers of shareholders. For others, we would suggest using the previously described e-notarization procedure.
1. Signing/Notarizing before Notary Public
The power of attorney must first be signed and notarized in front of a Notary Public in the principal’s home nation.
2. Legalization
The principal must attest the paper at the ministry of foreign affairs of his own country following notarization. A different government department may carry out the functions of the minister of international affairs, depending on the jurisdiction. This procedure is known as apostille or legalizing.
3. Attestation by the UAE Embassy
The UAE Embassy or Consulate must stamp the document as the final step in the legalization procedure in the country of origin. The paper is then delivered to the United Arab Emirates to finish the legalization procedure.
4. Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs must stamp the document after it is received in the country.
5. Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Justice
The POA is stamped by the UAE Ministry of Justice as the final step in the legalization process, certifying that an authorized translator completed the Arabic translation. Should the translation of the POA be completed subsequent to the attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it must be completed on the translator’s letterhead and bear their stamp. The translation and the original POA need to be stapled together.
E-Notarization for Powers of Attorney in Abu Dhabi
In the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, POAs are e-notarized by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, or ADJD. It is important to remember that this jurisdiction only accepts requests for e-notarization from people who have a valid Emirates ID.
Using a web application like Cisco WebEx, the notarization can be done remotely. The principal/signatortory of the Power of Attorney participates in a video conference with the Notary Public officer at the ADJD as part of this procedure. The principal’s identification and the authority to be granted will be confirmed during the call.
You will receive your notarized Abu Dhabi power of attorney shortly after.
E-Notarization for Powers of Attorney at Dubai Courts Notary Public
The procedure used in Abu Dhabi is comparable to the remote notarization procedure in Dubai. Typically, BOTIM is used to verify the principal’s identity and the authority to assign powers.
It should be mentioned that the courts in Dubai only give digital copies of Powers of Attorney.
The person granting a power of attorney and designating another person to act on their behalf in specific situations is known as the principal or signatory.
Powers to manage specific matters in lieu of the principle are granted to the attorney or agent. The person can handle all legal, financial, and other matters in any of the UAE’s Emirates after being designated as the attorney through a UAE POA (i.e., Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, and Ajman.)

However, in Dubai and other UAE Emirates, a special power of attorney designates authority for particular uses only.
