Power of Attorney Route Support in Dubai
Interpretation Here
A UAE Notary Public performs notarization. This route provides supporting guidance and handles notary-signing interpretation when language assistance is required.
Neither site is a law firm or gives legal advice. Which powers to grant remains your decision or your licensed legal consultant's; the receiving authority and Notary Public set their own requirements.

Who Handles Each Part of the Route
The boundary matters. Here is exactly who does what.
What Arkan Handles
- Legal translation: Arabic-English written translation of the POA
- Arkan: professional interpretation at the notary signing when required
- This page: supporting route guidance and the unchanged shared intake
External Decisions and Acts
- Notarization - performed by the UAE Notary Public, whose fee is paid to the notary
- Legal advice - which powers to grant, which POA type fits, whether it achieves your purpose: your decision or your licensed legal consultant’s
- Guaranteed acceptance - the receiving authority decides what it accepts and should confirm scope
General vs Special - Informational, Not Advice
Two broad shapes. Which one you need - and which powers go in it - is your decision or your legal consultant’s.
General POA
Broad authority across a range of matters - managing affairs, representing the principal before authorities. Broader wording, broader consequences: many people are advised toward narrower instruments, but that judgment belongs to you and your consultant.
Special POA
Authority limited to a named act - selling a specific property, completing a company formation, representing you in a specific case. Property transactions in Dubai follow current DLD practice on POA specifics - confirm requirements with the authority before the appointment.
Where POAs Come Up
Common situations for route guidance.
Property & Real Estate
Buying, selling, or managing Dubai property through an attorney-in-fact. DLD practice can change, so confirm current requirements with the authority. See the supporting route guide.
Court & Litigation
Appointing counsel or a representative for proceedings. Court interpretation remains with Arkan.
Company Formation
Authorizing a representative to complete setup formalities. Often travels with corporate document translation - MOAs, resolutions, licenses.
Revocation
POAs That Cross Borders
Coming into the UAE: a POA signed abroad can require a consular legalization chain, UAE-side attestation, and certified Arabic written translation.
Going abroad: a UAE-notarized POA can require MOFAIC attestation, destination-embassy steps, and formal written translation.
