GDRFA Dubai POA

Authorise someone to act on your behalf with a gdrfa dubai poa drafted, reviewed and stored by The Deedbox.

AED 990 · Our professional fee · Arabic + English included · Government fees quoted separately

What it is

This power of attorney is drafted in Arabic and English, and written for the authority that will receive it: where that authority publishes what it requires, we work from the published wording rather than from a template. The powers it grants are the ones you choose and name - it is a list, not a setting. How long it remains valid is decided by the authority that notarises it rather than by us, so where a fixed end date matters we write one into the document.

Who it is for

Anyone who needs a representative to handle gdrfa dubai poa matters in the UAE.

FAQ

Common questions

Can this POA be signed from outside the UAE?

A document signed outside the UAE is attested through the UAE mission in the country where you sign. MOFA publishes the service as “Attestation through UAE Missions Abroad” and, for its courier route, requires the original in Arabic or English “or accompanied by a legally certified translation”. Requirements differ by country, so check the UAE mission in yours. MOFA does not publish the fees on that page.

How long is the POA valid?

There is no single UAE-wide answer, and we would rather say so than invent one. Abu Dhabi publishes a cap: ADJD states that "the maximum period for the POA validity is 3 calendar years after the date of notarisation", extended to five years for lawyers on a litigation POA. We have found no equivalent published figure for Dubai. Where a fixed end date matters to you, the reliable approach is to write one into the document rather than rely on a rule that may not apply in your emirate — we set the expiry date out clearly either way.

The Deedbox is a legal-document service. It is **not a notary office and not a law firm**. We prepare documents and coordinate notarisation, registration, attestation and legalisation through the appropriate licensed parties and authorities. Will registration is performed by the relevant authority — the DIFC Courts Wills Service, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, Dubai Courts or the Notary Public; we prepare and coordinate, we do not register. Preparing or paying for a document does not mean it has been notarised, registered or accepted by any authority — those are separate steps, and we show you exactly where your case stands at each one. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
