Step by Step Power of Attorney Process in UAE
Knowing the steps in advance helps prevent delays and errors. Each step must be completed carefully for approval.
01.Draft and Translate the POA
The Power of Attorney is prepared according to your specific requirements. It clearly defines the authority granted to the representative to avoid rejection by UAE authorities. The document must be in Arabic or bilingual English/Arabic format. If drafted in English, it should be translated by a UAE Ministry of Justice approved legal translator.
02. Prepare the Required Documents
Collect the necessary identification and supporting documents, including passport copies, Emirates IDs, and relevant property or business records, based on the purpose of the POA.
03.Complete the Notarization
The POA must complete the notarisation process after the principal’s identity is verified. The document is signed before a notary through an approved online or in-person notarisation service. Once notarisation is completed, the notarized POA is issued for official use.
