A share transfer resolution is the board resolution in which a company’s directors approve the transfer of shares from one shareholder to another, or a change in ownership structure, and typically authorize a representative to complete the transfer with the relevant registrar or authority. 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. Registrars generally will not accept a copy certified from an unsigned draft, and some also expect the resolution to reference the specific shares, shareholders, and percentages involved.

## Certified True Copy of Board Resolution for Share Transfer, Dubai

When a company transfers shares or changes ownership, the relevant free zone authority, mainland licensing authority, or registrar typically asks for a certified true copy of board resolution for share transfer dubai approvals before recording the change. Our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants carry out that certification.

## Who Needs This Certification

- Companies transferring shares between existing shareholders
- Companies bringing in a new shareholder or investor
- Companies where a shareholder is exiting and their shares are being reallocated
- Free zone companies updating their share register with the relevant authority
- Mainland companies processing an ownership change with the Department of Economic Development or equivalent
- Companies undergoing a restructuring that changes the shareholding percentages on record

## 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 share transfers
- The company secretary, where formally appointed and authorized
- A power of attorney holder specifically authorized for the share transfer matter
- The general manager, only where the constitutional documents extend that authority to shareholding matters
- Note: the transferring and receiving shareholders themselves may separately need to attend the registrar or authority in person to complete the transfer. Confirm this with the relevant registrar.

## How the Process Works

1. Send us the signed board resolution and share transfer 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 registrar or licensing authority.

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Submitting an unsigned or draft resolution for certification
- Leaving out the specific shareholder names, share amounts, or percentages that the registrar expects to see
- Arriving without the original signed resolution to examine against the copy
- Assuming a certified board resolution alone completes the transfer, most authorities also require a separate transfer or sale agreement and their own registrar filing
- Missing a required director’s signature under the company’s MOA signing authority clause

## Real Situations This Covers

A free zone company brings in a new investor who is buying a shareholding from an existing partner. The free zone authority requires a certified copy of the board resolution approving the transfer before updating the share register.

A mainland company restructures its ownership between two existing partners. The Department of Economic Development, or equivalent licensing authority, asks for a certified copy of the approving resolution as part of the license amendment.

A company issues new shares to an incoming shareholder as part of a funding round. The registrar requires a certified copy of the board resolution confirming the board’s approval of the issuance.

## How This Differs From General Board Resolution Certification

This page covers resolutions approving a share transfer or ownership change, which registrars typically expect to reference specific shareholders and shareholding amounts. This differs from a resolution for a bank mandate change, a property transaction, or a power of attorney grant. 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.

Questions

## Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. 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.

Many registrars expect this level of detail. Check the exact requirement with your specific free zone authority, mainland licensing authority, or registrar before the resolution is finalized and signed, where possible.

Usually not. Most authorities also require a separate share transfer or sale agreement and their own filing process, alongside the certified resolution.

Not necessarily for the resolution certification itself, though the registrar or authority may separately require their attendance to complete the transfer. Confirm this with the relevant registrar.

This depends on how many authorities or parties, such as the registrar, a bank, or an incoming investor, each require their own copy. We can prepare multiple certified copies in one appointment.

In many cases, yes, where the board has approved a formal resolution on the change. The exact registrar requirement can vary, so confirm the specific process for your situation.
