Power of Attorney (UAE): نموذج 2026

This template is intended for onshore UAE (outside the DIFC and ADGM financial centres, which apply separate common-law regimes) unless a field below provides otherwise. Arabic is the language of UAE courts and notaries: an English document used before them must be accompanied by a certified legal translation into Arabic.

Important: banks, government departments, the Dubai Land Department and courts accept a power of attorney only if it is notarised by a UAE notary public (Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2022 on the notary profession and emirate-level notary rules) and usually in bilingual Arabic-English form. A power of attorney signed abroad must be notarised there and then attested and legalised (including by the UAE embassy and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and translated into Arabic. Powers relating to real estate must describe the property precisely.
