What Is a Power of Attorney in Dubai?
A Power of Attorney (POA), known locally as Tawkeel, is a formal legal document under UAE Civil Law (Federal Law No. 5 of 1985) that authorizes another person to act on your behalf.
The Principal
That's you — the person granting authority. You define what powers you delegate and to whom.
The Attorney / Agent
The trusted person you appoint. They act on your behalf — strictly within the powers you define.
The Document
Drafted in Arabic (bilingual optional), notarized by Dubai Courts, and legally binding across all UAE institutions.
Legal Framework
Governed by UAE Civil Law and regulated by the Dubai Notary Public, Dubai Courts, and MOFA — fully recognized nationwide.
E-Notarization
Dubai now offers remote notarization via secure video call. Your POA is valid and issued digitally — no office visit required.
Your Control
You set the scope, duration, and limitations. Your attorney can only act within exactly what you authorize — nothing more.
Types of Power of Attorney in Dubai
Choosing the correct POA type is critical — the wrong type can be rejected by UAE institutions. Our experts help you decide.
General POA
Grants your agent broad authority to act across multiple areas — ideal for expats or frequent travelers who need ongoing representation.
- Manage bank accounts & finances
- Handle government paperwork
- Sign contracts & legal documents
- Manage real estate purchases
- Represent at government agencies
Special / Specific POA
Limited to one defined task or transaction. Safer, more controlled — and required by DLD and UAE courts for property sales and transfers.
- Sell or transfer a specific property
- Register a vehicle or sell a car
- Handle a single court case
- Transfer company shares
- One specific bank transaction
Corporate / Business POA
Designed for company owners and investors. Authorizes representatives to run business operations, manage staff, or handle company formation.
- Authorize a General Manager
- Handle trade license renewals
- Manage company formation
- Sign MOA & shareholder docs
- Represent at free zone authorities

Frequently Asked Questions
A General POA grants broad authority across multiple areas — finances, property, business, and legal matters. A Special POA is limited to one specific task, such as selling a particular property or managing a single court case. UAE authorities like the Dubai Land Department typically require a Special POA for property transactions rather than a General one.
Yes. Dubai Courts now offer e-notarization through a secure video call. You can be anywhere in the world — the notary public verifies your identity and intent via video, you confirm with a one-time OTP, and your POA is issued digitally. Ripple arranges the entire video session for you.
With our e-notarization service, a POA can typically be drafted, translated, and notarized within 24–48 hours from the time you place your order and provide the required documents. Physical notarization at a Dubai notary office can also be completed same day in most cases.
Yes. Any POA used in the UAE must be in Arabic, or include a certified Arabic translation by a Ministry of Justice-approved legal translator. Most authorities — including the DLD, GDRFA, and UAE courts — will reject documents not submitted with an official Arabic version. Ripple handles all certified translation in-house.
You can appoint any individual over 21 years of age — a trusted family member, a friend, a business partner, or a professional legal consultant. The attorney does not need to be a UAE resident, though certain transactions (like DLD registrations) may require the agent to be physically present in the UAE.
A UAE POA can be issued for a fixed term or indefinitely — you specify the validity period when drafting the document. Some authorities (e.g., Dubai Courts) have internal rules on the maximum validity they accept. Ripple advises you on the appropriate duration based on your specific use case.
Yes, but it must be a Special (Specific) POA explicitly mentioning the property details and authorizing the agent to conduct the specific DLD transaction. A general POA is typically not accepted by the Dubai Land Department for property sales or transfers. Our team drafts property-specific POAs that meet DLD's exact requirements.
