    POA Signing Process

    The signing process for the general Power of Attorney (POA) depends on whether it is signed within or outside the UAE.

    Sign in UAE to use General POA in UAE

    If you are in the UAE, you can sign a general power of attorney before a notary public in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman, or Um Al Quwain. Once notarized, the power of attorney is valid and accepted throughout the whole UAE.

    Online Notarization in Dubai

    In Dubai, a general POA can also be notarized via the BOTIM app. The following steps can be taken for online notarization:

    • Sending an email to the Dubai notary public with the following details:
    • Mobile number of the principal that is subscribed to the BOTIM app.
    • Copy of the power of attorney.
    • Valid IDs.
    • Notary public holds a video call via BOTIM app for verification of identities, and thereupon approves the POA.
    • The approved and stamped POA can be collected by the agent residing in Dubai/UAE from the office of the Dubai notary public.

    Online Notarization in Abu Dhabi

    The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) allows for convenient online notarization of a power of attorney. Here is the step-by-step process for online notarization:

    • A duly translated (English and Arabic) copy of the general POA is uploaded along with the identification cards of the principal, agent and the translator. On the portal of the ADJD, the payment can be made on the payment link gateway of ADJD.
    • ADJD will verify the identities of the principal and the agent by organizing a video call.
    • The digitally signed final copy of the general POA is emailed to the principal / agent.

    Sign outside UAE to use in UAE

    If you are currently outside the UAE and cannot utilize online notarization, you have the option to sign a general Power of Attorney (POA) before a notary public in your country of residence. Once the legalization process is finalized at the relevant departments, the POA will become valid for use in the UAE.

    Government departments in the country of residence

    • Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    • UAE Embassy

    Government departments in UAE

    • Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    • Ministry of Justice after Arabic translation

    To utilize a General Power of Attorney (POA) outside the UAE, it is necessary to sign in the UAE.

    If you are a resident of the UAE and need to use the power of attorney outside the country, you can have a general power of attorney signed before a notary public in the UAE. The attestation of the power of attorney will vary depending on the country where it will be used.

    • The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE.
    • Embassy/consulate of the country where the power of attorney will be used.
