What It Is
What Is a Certified True Copy of a Board Resolution?
A board resolution is a formal record of a decision made by a company’s board of directors or shareholders, such as opening a bank account, appointing a signatory, approving a property transaction or authorizing someone to act for the company. A certified true copy is a copy of that resolution that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and certified as genuine and unaltered.
Banks, land departments and other counterparties often ask for a certified copy rather than a plain photocopy, particularly where the resolution grants someone authority to sign or transact on the company’s behalf.

Who Can Request the Certification
A certified true copy of a board resolution is normally requested by an authorized signatory of the company, such as a director, general manager or company secretary, or by someone holding a valid power of attorney. The original resolution, or a copy accepted by the certifying professional, needs to be produced at the time of certification.

Know The Difference
Two Routes to a Certified Copy of a Board Resolution
There are generally two routes to a certified copy of a company document. Route one is certification by a licensed UAE legal professional, a notary public or legal consultant, carried out in house at Certified True Copy Dubai.
Route two, applying directly to the government authority that issued the document, is less commonly available for board resolutions, since a board resolution is an internal company record rather than a document issued by a government or licensing authority. Some government-issued company documents, such as a trade license from certain free zone authorities, do have a direct attestation route, but this typically does not extend to internally drafted resolutions. For a board resolution, certification by a licensed legal professional is generally the applicable path, and it is worth confirming with the receiving bank, department or counterparty exactly what form of certification they expect.
Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.
