A Power of Attorney (POA) lets someone act on your behalf for property transactions, business matters, or legal proceedings in the UAE while you are abroad. For a POA signed outside the UAE to be legally recognized here, it must go through UAE Embassy attestation in the country where it was signed, followed by MOFA UAE certification.
Common Uses for an Attested POA
- Property purchase, sale, or management in the UAE
- Company formation or business representation
- Banking and financial transactions handled by a representative
Because a POA is a legal instrument, precise wording and notarization in the country of origin matter as much as the attestation chain itself. We can advise on both before the document is submitted for Embassy attestation, helping avoid delays or rejections.
What You’ll Need
- Draft or signed POA document
- Grantor and representative passport copies
- Notarization in the country of signing
