Power of Attorney · For use abroad
A UAE power of attorney that works in your home country
A Power of Attorney drafted and notarised in the UAE, then MOFA-attested and legalised so it is valid in another country. We handle the full chain and keep you updated from your phone.
What it is
A normal UAE Power of Attorney is only accepted inside the UAE. To be valid abroad it must also be attested by MOFAIC and legalised by the destination country. This service covers the full chain, drafting and notarising the POA in the UAE, then arranging attestation and legalisation, so your attorney can act for you overseas.
Typical turnaround: 5-10 working days.
Who needs it
This is for people in the UAE who need someone abroad to act for them, for example to:
- Sell or manage a property in your home country
- Handle a bank or financial matter overseas
- Manage a court or official task abroad
- Sign documents on your behalf in another country
Documents you'll need
- Principal’s Emirates ID and passport
- Full name and details of the attorney abroad
- The destination country and the purpose of the POA

Pricing
Starting fromAED 900all-in
AED 900 covers drafting, notarisation and MOFA attestation for a Power of Attorney leaving the UAE.
Where the destination country's consulate charges for legalisation, that stage takes it to AED 950. Tell us where the POA is going and we will confirm.
How this price works. AED 900 is the starting price, with the attestation charges already inside it. You get the exact figure in writing before any work begins, and it does not change afterwards. If your case needs a stage beyond the standard one, we tell you what it costs before we start, never after. Our assistant does not quote a figure at all: a person prices your case and sends the quotation.
FAQ
How is this different from a normal POA?
A normal UAE POA is only accepted inside the UAE. To be valid abroad it must also be attested by MOFAIC and legalised by the destination country, which this service covers end to end.
Does the price depend on the country?
Yes. Each country's legalisation or embassy fees differ, so we give you the exact all-in figure once we know the destination.
What do you need about the person acting for me?
We need your attorney's full name and details exactly as they should appear in the POA.
Do I need to sign in person?
Notarisation usually requires the principal to sign, in person or via the notary's online service. We'll confirm what your case needs.
