General vs Special Power of Attorney in the UAE — Which One Do You Need?
Both are legal, both are notarised — but they give very different levels of authority. Here is when to use each.
Power of Attorney costs in Dubai depend on three components: drafting, certified Arabic translation, and the Dubai Courts notary fee. The notary fee itself is published by Dubai Courts and varies by POA type — for example, a general POA is notarised at a fixed fee while a POA tied to a property sale is calculated on the property value with a cap.
Typical Cost Components
- Drafting (English + Arabic): AED 300 – AED 1,500
- Certified legal translation: AED 80 – AED 250 per page
- Dubai Courts notary fee: AED 220 – AED 2,000+ (depends on POA type & value)
- Optional MOFA attestation (if used abroad): AED 150 per document
