Scope & Responsibilities

notarization.ae is a reference resource on the notarisation of Powers of Attorney in Dubai. The site explains what notarisation establishes under UAE law, why bilingual Arabic-English drafting must precede notarisation, the inbound legalisation chain for foreign-executed POAs, and the outbound legalisation chain for Dubai-notarised POAs intended for use abroad. The site also covers the recurring rejection causes at the receiving desk (Dubai Land Department, banks, RTA, courts) and the specific notarisation requirements for property, banking, company, court, and RTA POAs.

The site is operated by Cendale Documents Clearing Services FZCO under Trade Licence 78065 (Dubai Silicon Oasis). It is an independent informational resource. It is not a Dubai Notary Public site, not a Ministry of Justice site, not a MOFAIC site, not a Dubai Courts site, and not affiliated with any UAE government authority or any notarial body.

The notarisation act as the procedural step that gives a Dubai POA legal force — what the Notary Public verifies and does not verify, the bilingual drafting discipline that must precede it, the Notary Public process in Dubai, the inbound legalisation chain for foreign-executed POAs, the outbound legalisation chain for Dubai-notarised POAs going abroad, the rejection causes at the receiving desk, and the variations across property, banking, company, court, and vehicle POAs.

The General Power of Attorney as an instrument is covered on generalpoa.ae. The Property Power of Attorney is covered on poaforproperty.ae. The cancellation of a Power of Attorney is covered on poacancellation.ae. Digital notarisation channels operating under UAE Pass are covered on enotaryuae.ae. End-to-end property transfer execution is covered on conveyance.ae. Drafting, Notary Public attendance, MOFAIC attestation, and onward consular legalisation are delivered through poas.ae.

The content on notarization.ae is general procedural and legal information about a regulated act. It does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or professional representation. UAE notarial practice, MOFAIC processing, embassy legalisation procedures, and the procedural rules administered by the Dubai Notary Public are subject to change. Following the United Arab Emirates’ accession to the Hague Apostille Convention with effect from February 2026, the attestation pathway depends on whether the originating or destination country is a Convention member; operational acceptance at receiving authorities should be confirmed before reliance. Reliance on specific procedures should be confirmed with the relevant notary, MOFAIC, or a licensed legal advisor before acting.

Cendale accepts professional liability only for work conducted under a written, countersigned engagement letter. Bilingual drafting, Notary Public booking, MOFAIC attestation, and onward consular legalisation are coordinated through poas.ae.
