[Start Your Certification Request](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A bank mandate resolution is the board resolution in which your company’s directors formally appoint, remove, or change the individual authorized to operate the company’s bank accounts, sign checks, and instruct transfers. A certified true copy is a copy of that signed resolution that has been examined against the original and certified as a genuine and accurate copy by a licensed UAE legal professional. The resolution must already be signed by the board before it can be certified. A draft or unsigned mandate letter cannot be certified as a true copy, since certification confirms that the copy matches a document that already exists and has already been executed. ## Certified True Copy of Board Resolution for Bank Mandate, Dubai When your company changes its authorized bank signatory, most UAE banks ask for a certified true copy of board resolution for bank mandate dubai before they update the mandate on file. We handle that certification through a licensed UAE legal professional, so your new signatory can be added without delay. ## Who Needs This Certification - Companies appointing a new authorized signatory on an existing bank account - Companies removing a signatory who has left the business or changed role - Companies adding a second or joint signatory for dual authorization - Free zone and mainland companies opening or updating accounts with UAE banks - Branches of foreign companies updating local banking authority - Companies whose bank has requested an updated, certified mandate resolution as part of a periodic compliance review ## Who Can Request and Attend The certification appointment can typically be attended by: - A director or board member listed on the company’s trade license or MOA - The general manager, where the company’s constitutional documents authorize this - The company secretary, where one is formally appointed - A power of attorney holder with authority covering banking or corporate document matters - Note: banks may separately require the outgoing and incoming signatories, or a company representative, to attend in person for their own KYC steps. Confirm this directly with your bank. ## How the Process Works 1. Send us the signed board resolution and supporting company documents for review. 2. We confirm the documents are complete and book your appointment in person at our office, online or on a home visit. 3. Your representative attends with the original signed resolution and identification documents. 4. The legal professional examines the original against the copy and certifies the copy as a true copy. 5. You receive the certified true copy, ready to submit to your bank. ## Common Mistakes to Avoid - Submitting an unsigned or draft resolution for certification. It must be signed by the board first. - Missing a signature from a director whose authority is required under the company’s MOA - Bringing only a copy of the original resolution, with no original to examine against - Assuming every bank accepts the same wording. Confirm your bank’s required format before the resolution is signed, where possible. - Leaving the trade license or MOA at home, both are usually needed to confirm signing authority ## Real Situations This Covers A trading company in Dubai promotes its finance manager to sole authorized signatory after the previous signatory resigns. The bank asks for a certified true copy of the board resolution confirming the change before it updates its records. A free zone company adds a second signatory so that transfers above a set value require two authorizations. The bank’s compliance team requires a certified copy of the resolution before applying the new dual-signatory rule. A holding company changes its signatory after a director relocates outside the UAE. The bank will not process the change from an uncertified copy or a scanned PDF alone. ## How This Differs From General Board Resolution Certification This page covers the specific case of a bank mandate or signatory change. The wording, supporting documents, and sometimes the bank’s own required template differ from a resolution certified for other purposes, such as a property transaction or a share transfer. If your resolution covers a different purpose, see our main Certified True Copy of Board Resolutions & Company Documents page. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Certification confirms that a copy matches an original document that has already been signed and executed. An unsigned or draft resolution cannot be certified as a true copy. This depends on the signing authority set out in your company’s Memorandum of Association or board charter. Some companies require more than one director’s signature. Check your MOA or seek legal advice if you are unsure. Banks can have their own preferred wording or template for signatory changes. It is worth checking with your bank before the resolution is finalized and signed, where possible. This depends on your bank’s requirements and whether any other authority also needs a copy. We can prepare multiple certified copies in one appointment. In many cases, yes, provided the power of attorney document grants authority over banking or corporate document matters. Confirm this with your bank in advance, since some banks require a director to attend in person. We can provide certification for companies registered in other emirates.
