Guides to UAE powers of attorney
These pages are built from what the authorities themselves publish - Dubai Land Department, RTA, the federal portal, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - and they are explicit about where those sources stop. Where a question is not answered by anything official we have found, the guide says so rather than filling the gap.
They exist to help you choose. The service pages are where something gets prepared.
Translation
What UAE authorities publish about documents that are not in Arabic - and how differently each of them words it.
- متى تحتاج المعاملة إلى ترجمة عربية؟
Someone who has been told their document needs an Arabic translation, and wants to know what kind, for which authority, and who is allowed to do it.
Preparing one
What the authorities publish about documents and about signing from abroad - and where they are silent.
- ترتيب توكيل إماراتي وأنت خارج الدولة
Someone outside the UAE who needs a document used here, and wants to know what is actually involved.
Crossing a border
A document signed in one country and used in another passes through several authorities. What each stage does, and which one decides.
