[Start Your Certification Request](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A power of attorney authorization resolution is the board resolution in which a company’s directors formally approve granting power of attorney to a named individual, setting out the scope of authority that person will hold to act, sign, or represent the company. A certified true copy is a copy of that signed resolution that has been examined against the original and certified as genuine and accurate by a licensed UAE legal professional. The resolution must be signed by the board before it can be certified. This certified copy is separate from the power of attorney document itself, which is typically drawn up and notarized as its own instrument, often with the certified board resolution submitted alongside it as supporting evidence of the board’s approval. ## Certified True Copy of Board Resolution for Power of Attorney, Dubai When a company grants power of attorney to an individual representative, the notary drawing up the power of attorney, or a third party relying on it, will often ask for a certified true copy of board resolution for power of attorney dubai authorizations. Our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants carry out that certification. ## Who Needs This Certification - Companies appointing a general manager or country manager under a power of attorney - Companies authorizing a lawyer or agent to represent them in a specific transaction or dispute - Companies granting authority to sign contracts, leases, or corporate documents on their behalf - Foreign parent companies authorizing a local representative for their UAE branch or subsidiary - Companies whose power of attorney is being renewed or replaced and needs a fresh supporting resolution ## Who Can Request and Attend The certification appointment can typically be attended by: - A director or board member with authority under the company’s MOA to approve granting power of attorney - The general manager, where the constitutional documents authorize this - The company secretary, where formally appointed - An existing power of attorney holder, only where their existing authority extends to requesting further corporate document certifications - Note: the individual receiving the new power of attorney does not need to attend the certification of the board resolution itself, though they will typically need to attend separately when the power of attorney document is notarized. ## How the Process Works 1. Send us the signed board resolution authorizing the power of attorney 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 alongside your power of attorney application or to the relying third party. ## Common Mistakes to Avoid - Submitting an unsigned or draft resolution for certification - Leaving the scope of authority vague in the resolution wording when a specific, defined scope was intended - Assuming the certified resolution replaces the need to notarize the power of attorney document itself, it does not - Arriving without the original signed resolution to examine against the copy - Not checking whether the receiving authority wants the resolution wording to match the power of attorney wording exactly ## Real Situations This Covers A foreign parent company appoints a local general manager in Dubai under a power of attorney. The notary drawing up the POA asks for a certified copy of the board resolution approving the appointment. A company authorizes an external lawyer to represent it in a commercial dispute. The court or opposing party’s legal team requests a certified copy of the resolution confirming the lawyer’s authority. A company grants a regional director authority to sign contracts on its behalf across several projects. A counterparty asks for a certified copy of the supporting board resolution before signing. ## How This Differs From General Board Resolution Certification This page covers resolutions approving the grant of power of attorney to a named individual.

Certification confirms 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. No. The certified board resolution is generally submitted as supporting evidence alongside the power of attorney, which is typically drawn up and notarized as its own separate document. Usually not for the resolution itself, though they will typically need to attend separately when the power of attorney document is notarized. Confirm the specific requirement with the notary handling the POA. This depends on what the power of attorney is meant to cover and what the receiving authority expects. A clearly defined scope generally avoids questions later, so it is worth confirming the wording before the resolution is signed. This depends on how many authorities or counterparties will rely on the power of attorney. We can prepare multiple certified copies in one appointment. In many cases, yes, though the exact requirements can depend on the branch’s registration and the receiving authority.
