What Is a Corporate Power of Attorney?
A corporate power of attorney is a notarized legal instrument by which a company formally authorizes one or more individuals to act on its behalf. In the UAE, corporate POAs are essential for a wide range of business activities where company officers cannot be physically present or wish to delegate authority.
Unlike a personal POA, a corporate POA must reflect the company's authorized signatories as defined in its MOA and board resolutions. Our team ensures the POA is correctly drafted to match the company's constitutional documents and that it meets the requirements of the specific authority or institution it will be presented to.

Corporate POA FAQ
What is a corporate power of attorney in Dubai?+
A corporate power of attorney (POA) is a legal document by which a company authorizes an individual or another entity to act on its behalf. In Dubai, a corporate POA must be notarized by a licensed notary to be legally valid. It is used for banking, property transactions, court proceedings, government filings, and many other corporate actions.
What is the difference between a general and specific corporate POA?+
A general corporate POA grants broad authority to the authorized person, covering a wide range of actions on behalf of the company. A specific (or limited) POA restricts authority to a defined task or transaction, such as signing a particular contract or representing the company in a specific court case.
Can a foreign company issue a corporate POA for use in Dubai?+
Yes. A corporate POA issued by an overseas company for use in Dubai must typically be notarized in the country of origin, then legalized (apostilled or attested) and further attested by the UAE Embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE. We advise on the exact process for your jurisdiction.
How long is a corporate POA valid in the UAE?+
A corporate POA in the UAE is typically valid for one year unless the document specifies a different duration. Banks and government authorities may have their own validity requirements. We advise on the appropriate term based on your intended use.
