Types of Power of Attorney

A General POA grants broad authority to the agent to act on your behalf across multiple matters including property, banking, and legal affairs. This is commonly used when you need someone to manage your affairs while you are abroad.

The translation must accurately capture the scope of authority to prevent disputes about what the agent is empowered to do.

A Special POA limits the agent's authority to specific, defined transactions such as selling a particular property or managing a single bank account. In the UAE, Special POAs are generally preferred for property transactions at DLD because they clearly define the scope of authority.

Many Palm Jumeirah property owners use Special POAs for sales and purchases.

The Dubai Land Department has specific requirements for POAs used in property transactions. The translation must include the property details (plot number, building, unit), the specific transaction type (sale, purchase, mortgage), and any conditions or limitations.

We format translations to meet DLD submission requirements. See also our real estate translation services.

Banks in the UAE require carefully translated POAs that specify which banking operations the agent can perform. This may include account management, fund transfers, loan applications, or signatory changes.

For related financial documents, see our bank statement translation services.

Special cases and requirements

POAs issued in other countries typically need attestation before use in the UAE. The chain usually includes: notarization in home country, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UAE Embassy, and UAE MOFA.

We verify attestation status during our pre-validation review.

POAs issued in the UAE through a UAE Notary Public are typically in Arabic. If you need an English translation for use with international banks or companies, we can translate from Arabic to English.

If you need to revoke a previously issued POA, the revocation document also requires certified translation. We handle both new POAs and revocation documents.

Some POAs grant authority to multiple agents or involve multiple principals. We ensure all parties are correctly identified and that the distribution of authority is clearly translated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between General and Special Power of Attorney?

A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority across multiple matters including property, banking, and legal affairs. A Special Power of Attorney limits authority to specific transactions such as selling a particular property. In the UAE, Special POAs are preferred for property transactions because they clearly define the scope and reduce potential disputes.

Is this POA translation accepted by DLD?

Yes. Our MOJ-certified POA translations are accepted by the Dubai Land Department for property transactions. The translation includes all required elements: property details, transaction type, parties involved, and the official MOJ stamp with QR verification.

Does my foreign POA need attestation?

For most official UAE uses, yes. POAs issued abroad typically need attestation through notarization, home country Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UAE Embassy, and UAE MOFA. We check attestation status during our free pre-validation review before you pay for translation.

How long does POA translation take?

Standard service delivers within 24 hours. Express service completes in 6 hours for urgent transactions. VIP Concierge provides 1-hour drafts when you have an immediate closing or bank appointment.

Can you help with notarization as well?

We focus on translation services. However, we can advise on the notarization process and timing. Many clients get the translation first, then proceed to the UAE Notary Public if the POA needs to be re-notarized locally.
