POA Attestation - Power of Attorney in Dubai, UAE
If you're planning to authorize someone to act on your behalf — whether it’s for managing property, financial transactions, business setup, or family matters — you’ll need a Power of Attorney (POA). And in the UAE, that POA must be legally attested to be valid.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf in legal, financial, or personal matters. It can be:
-
General POA: Grants broad powers (property, bank, legal actions)
-
Special POA: Limited to a specific purpose (car sale, visa, company signing)
-
Company POA: Given by a business to an agent, manager, or partner
What Is a Power of Attorney (POA)?
Why Is POA Attestation Important in the UAE?
Without proper attestation, your Power of Attorney will not be recognized by UAE government departments, banks, or courts. POA attestation validates the identity of the parties involved and the authenticity of the document, making it legally enforceable in the UAE or abroad.
You need POA attestation for:
-
Buying or selling property
-
Managing bank accounts
-
Signing legal contracts
-
Sponsoring visas
-
Starting or managing a company
-
