A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that lets one person, the principal, authorise another person, the attorney, to act on their behalf. In the UAE, a POA is widely used for property transactions, business management, court representation and personal matters.
To be valid in the UAE, a POA generally needs to be drafted correctly, translated into Arabic, and notarised by a public notary. The exact requirements depend on the type of POA and the authority that will accept it.
Because the notary reviews the document in Arabic, a certified bilingual draft removes delays and reduces the risk of rejection. This is why we prepare every POA in English and Arabic side by side.
