How do I get a power of attorney for my bank account?

Answer a few questions online and add your details and ID. We prepare it, you approve the draft, then you sign at a notary in the UAE or from abroad.

Will my bank accept it?

No document is guaranteed to work with every bank. The form asks which bank it is for, we name the bank in the document and check what it currently requires. The bank still makes the final decision.

What if the account is in a company’s name?

Then the company gives the power of attorney, signed by someone who is allowed to sign for it. Operating a company’s bank accounts is AED 499. The form asks which applies.

How long is it valid?

You choose one year, two years or longer. The notary fee is about AED 100 for each year it is valid.
