Every year, countless POAs are rejected by notaries or government departments – costing individuals and businesses time, money, and credibility.

Here’s why your POA might be rejected, and how Luxe Incorporations ensures your document meets all the right legal standards.

Common Reasons POAs Are Rejected in the UAE:

Improper Translation

POAs issued outside the UAE must be legally translated into Arabic. If this is done poorly or not by a certified translator – it can be grounds for immediate rejection.

Missing Legalisation or Attestation

Foreign POAs must go through a lengthy attestation process, starting from the country of origin through the UAE Embassy and finally at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

Notarisation Gaps

If a POA isn’t notarised correctly in the country of issue or in the UAE, it won’t be accepted by local authorities.

Incorrect Wording or Scope

Vague or overly broad POAs are frequently rejected. The UAE prefers highly specific documents clearly stating powers granted and relevant entities.

Expired or Undated POAs

A POA without a clear date or one that’s expired by the time of submission is automatically void.
