Every attestation route for the Dubai POA, handled

Our POA attestation for Dubai service accounts for where the POA was issued and its intended use in Dubai.

These factors determine the correct attestation route as follows:

UK POA signed before a UK notary: The complete attestation chain includes an FCDO apostille, UAE Embassy attestation, and MOFA attestation.
POA drafted in the UK specifically for use in the UAE: The above chain applies, but there is an additional requirement for a bilingual format done with the help of a sworn translator.
POA relating to a non-UK entity: The notary must state on the notarial certificate that the document was signed in their presence within the UK, or any British Overseas Territories, or Crown Dependencies.

We always verify the intended use of your POA before we start the attestation process. It ensures your POA is fully legalised for its purpose.

How it works

We’ve streamlined the legalisation process for UAE-bound documents to remove friction and uncertainty.

Here’s how it works:

Send us the original POA: We’ll need the original document. If you haven’t made the POA yet, we can refer you to legal professionals who can help draft it.
Notarisation: If notarisation services are required, e.g., a POA relating to a non-UK entity, we’ll facilitate the notarisation with the help of a notary public in London.
UK legalisation: We’ll submit your document to the FCDO for an apostille. We submit and collect documents at the FCDO Legalisation Office every workday.
UAE attestation: We’ll submit the apostilled POA to the UAE Embassy in London for attestation.
Document delivery: You can collect the fully-legalised POA in person from our London office. Alternatively, we can deliver the document to you via Royal Mail or DHL.

We offer an expedited apostille service that guarantees that if we get your POA by 9:00 AM, it will be apostilled by the next working day.
