Unlike attestation, which entails visiting multiple government offices and tracking the progress of your document, POA.ae offers a professional solution to handle this process seamlessly on your behalf.

Step by Step Legalization Process:

1. Notarization – To begin, you must have your Power of Attorney (POA) notarized. This can be done at a notary public office or by a solicitor in the UK. For your convenience, we have an affiliated notary office located in London that can assist with the notarization process. If you are located elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you can have your POA notarized in any part of the UK. Once notarized, you can then send the document by courier to our London office, where we will proceed to Step 2.
2. Apostille by Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) – During the legalization process, this step verifies the signature of the UK official responsible for conducting the certification. It serves to confirm the authenticity of the attached UK public document, including the signature, seal, or stamp. An Authentication Certificate will be provided alongside.
3. Legalization by the UAE Embassy in London – This attestation serves as confirmation that the document has been duly legalized, adhering to the standard procedure. The official UAE Embassy-London Consular Section sticker will be affixed accordingly.
4. Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) UAE – This is the ultimate and concluding stage, where the document undergoes thorough verification. A further UAE official sticker will be affixed, marking its completion. Upon completion, the Power of Attorney (POA) is ready and legally valid for use, unless the subsequent step is applicable.
5. Attestation by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) of UAE (if applicable) – If your Power of Attorney (POA) will be used in court, it will also require Arabic translation and attestation by the Ministry of Justice.
