Certified True Copy of Board Resolution for Property Transactions in Dubai

Certified True Copy of Board Resolution for Property, Dubai

When a company buys, sells, or leases property in its own name, the relevant land department or registration authority typically asks for a certified true copy of board resolution for property dubai transactions before registering the transaction. Our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants carry out that certification.

Who Needs This Certification

• Companies purchasing property or land under the company name
• Companies selling company-owned property
• Companies leasing commercial or residential property as tenant or landlord
• Companies mortgaging or refinancing property they hold
• Companies authorizing a manager or representative to sign transfer documents at the land department
• Holding companies and SPVs set up to own specific properties

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 property transactions
• The general manager, where the constitutional documents authorize this
• The company secretary, where formally appointed
• A power of attorney holder specifically authorized for the property transaction
• Note: land departments and registration authorities may have their own separate requirements for who must sign the transfer documents themselves, distinct from who attends the certification appointment. Confirm the receiving authority’s requirement before your appointment.

How the Process Works

1. Send us the signed board resolution and property transaction 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 the land department or relevant authority.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Submitting an unsigned or draft resolution for certification
• Leaving the property details vague or missing from the resolution wording, which some receiving authorities may query
• Arriving without the original signed resolution to examine against the copy
• Assuming the receiving authority’s document list is the same for every transaction type, purchase, sale, lease, and mortgage can each carry different requirements
• Missing a required director’s signature under the company’s MOA signing authority clause

Real Situations This Covers

How This Differs From General Board Resolution Certification

This page covers resolutions approving a specific property transaction, purchase, sale, lease, or mortgage. The wording and supporting documents required by a land department differ from those needed for a bank mandate change or a share transfer.
