Special Power of Attorney in Dubai
A special power of attorney in Dubai lets someone act for you in one specific matter — selling a property, transferring a land title, handling a car loan, operating a bank account or representing you in a court case. Dunes drafts your special power of attorney in bilingual Arabic-English, arranges notarisation and, where needed, MOFA and embassy attestation.
Tell us what the attorney needs to do and who they are. We prepare the draft for your review and send a written quote.

- Draft the document — bilingual Arabic-English, with names and ID numbers matching passports and Emirates IDs
- Notarise it — with a court notary, a private notary or, in many cases, online by video call

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a special power of attorney in Dubai?
A special power of attorney authorises someone to act for you in one specific matter only, such as selling a particular property, handling a car loan or representing you in a court case. It covers only the powers written in the document.
What is the difference between a special and a general power of attorney?
A general power of attorney gives broad authority over many matters; a special power of attorney is limited to the specific matter it names. Read general vs special power of attorney in Dubai.
When do I need a special power of attorney?
Typically for a single property sale or transfer, a vehicle sale or car loan, a specific bank transaction, or representation in a particular court case such as a divorce or custody matter.
Does a special power of attorney need to be notarised?
Yes. To be used with UAE authorities, banks or courts, a power of attorney needs to be notarised. We arrange notarisation after drafting.
Does it need to be in Arabic?
Powers of attorney for use in the UAE are commonly prepared as bilingual Arabic-English documents. We prepare the bilingual draft for you.
Can I make a special power of attorney from abroad?
Yes. It can be notarised in your country and then authenticated, attested by the UAE embassy, attested by MOFA and translated, or in many cases notarised online by video call through official UAE channels. See power of attorney for overseas use.
How long is a special power of attorney valid?
It usually remains valid until the specific matter is completed, it expires on a date written in the document, or it is revoked. The receiving authority may have its own requirements, so check before signing.
How much does a special power of attorney cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on drafting, translation and the notary fee. We send a written quote before work starts.
