Whether you are buying property in Dubai from abroad, handing signing authority on a company to a partner, or need someone to manage your banking while you are out of the country, a Power of Attorney (POA) is usually the document that makes it legally possible.
Quick answer: A UAE Power of Attorney must be notarized to be legally valid and usable. If you are a resident, you notarize it at a Dubai Courts Notary Public, another emirate's notary department, or an approved private notary, using your passport and Emirates ID. If you are abroad, you sign it at a UAE embassy or consulate, then get it attested through MOFAIC and, in most cases, notarized locally in the UAE before use. Standard POA notarization typically costs between AED 100 and AED 500 depending on type.
The full guide covers general vs special POA, where and how to notarize inside and outside the UAE, required documents, notary fee ranges, validity and cancellation, and common use cases including real estate, company setup, and banking.
