How long does it take to get a POA in Dubai?

Typically, a Power of Attorney can be drafted and notarized within 24-48 hours, depending on the complexity, type of POA, and any specific requirements of the relevant authority.

Can I get a POA from outside the UAE?

Yes. You can issue a POA from outside the UAE through online or physical notarization at a UAE embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Our experienced team are fully qualified to help you draft, notarize, and authenticate a wide range of POA document online.

Is online notarization available?

Yes. Dubai Courts now offer remote e-notarization through a secure video conferencing call. Our team arranges the session and guides you through every step. The notary public verifies your identity, confirms your intention to issue the POA, and finalizes it after you provide a one-time password (OTP). You receive a fully notarized document without travelling to Dubai.

How long is a POA valid?

The validity depends on the terms specified in the document. A POA remains valid until you revoke it, unless a specific time limit is set. We will advise the right validity terms for your situation.

Who can I appoint as my representative?

Your representative must be at least 18 years old and legally competent to act on your behalf. This can be a family member, friend, trusted professional, or a licensed corporate representative. If you're unsure who to appoint, our attorneys can help you make the right choice.

Is a General POA always accepted?

Not always. While a General Power of Attorney provides broad authority, some authorities require a more specific legal document for certain actions. In such cases, a General POA may not be accepted. We review your situation in advance to ensure your legal document meets all requirements.

What information is crucial to include in POAs?

A valid POA must include the full details of the principal and representative, the specific powers being granted, the scope and limitations of authority, the validity period, and the principal's signature before a notary.

How can I ensure the authenticity?

Through proper notarization, certified translation, and compliance with UAE legal procedures. We handle the whole process, so every document we prepare is legally valid and accepted by the relevant authority.

How is a POA executed in Dubai?

In Dubai, a POA becomes legally valid by signing the document before a notary public. Our attorneys support you through the entire process in person or remotely.

Can I assign multiple agents in a single POA document?

Yes. A POA can name multiple representatives with specific roles and responsibilities defined for each.

Can a POA be revoked or canceled?

Yes. The principal can revoke a Power of Attorney at any time. To cancel, visit any Notary Public office and submit a revocation request. We can assist you with the cancellation process if needed.

How can I ensure the effectiveness of a POA over time?

Review and update your POA whenever your circumstances or legal requirements change. Note that a POA automatically expires upon the principal's death. Our legal team is available to advise on any updates or revisions.

How much does the power of attorney cost?

Our POA fees start from AED 999 for UAE residents and AED 1,999 for non-residents, and price may vary depending on the type and urgency. A standard government fees are payable at the Notary offices upon signing.

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows a trusted person (the Agent) to act on your behalf (the Principal) for personal, property, or business matters.

POAs are widely accepted by UAE courts, government agencies, and financial institutions. To be valid, a POA must be notarized and drafted in Arabic or accompanied by a certified Arabic translation.
