About Vehicle POA
If someone else is to deal with your vehicle matters in Dubai or any other emirate, you need a vehicle power of attorney. It lets your attorney work with the traffic authorities and other parties to register, buy, sell, import or export a vehicle in your name.
It is most often arranged by people who are leaving the UAE and want someone to sell their car once they have gone. We draft the POA around your vehicle details and the exact steps you want your attorney to take, and the powers listed below are examples rather than a full list.
Powers you can assign
- Buy a vehicle in your name
- Sell the vehicle and sign the transfer
- Register the vehicle or renew its registration
- Import or export the vehicle
- Cancel the vehicle’s registration
- Renew insurance and pay fines
- Obtain, change or transfer number plates
- Handle any other matter linked to the vehicle

Vehicle POA
Your questions,
answered.
What exactly is a vehicle POA?
It is a legal document that lets a person you trust, the attorney-in-fact, carry out vehicle transactions for you as the owner. These include registration, renewal, transfer of ownership and export.
When do I need a vehicle POA?
You need one when you cannot be there yourself to complete a vehicle procedure with the RTA or another authority, such as a sale, registration, renewal or export.
Who can I appoint under a vehicle POA?
You can appoint any person, whether or not they live in the UAE, as long as they hold valid identification. Choose someone you trust, because they will act legally in your name.
Does a vehicle POA have to be notarized?
Yes. To be legally enforceable, it must be notarized either in front of a UAE notary public or online via the notary service of the UAE Ministry of Justice.
When does a vehicle POA expire?
It lasts for the period written in the document. If no period is given, it generally stays in force for two years from the day it was notarized, unless you cancel it sooner.
Is it possible to revoke a vehicle POA?
Yes. You can cancel it at any time by applying to the notary public. You should also inform your attorney and the relevant authorities, such as the RTA.
Is a vehicle POA signed abroad valid in the UAE?
Only if it has been notarized in the country where it was signed, attested by the UAE Embassy there and legalized by MOFA, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It also needs a legal Arabic translation by a certified translator.
Can a vehicle POA cover commercial vehicles?
Yes. It can cover personal or commercial vehicles, as long as the commercial actions you want to allow are clearly set out in the scope of the POA.
Can I sell my car in the UAE after I leave the country?
Yes. With a vehicle POA, your attorney can complete the sale and transfer with the traffic authority on your behalf.
Does the car need to be free of fines?
Outstanding fines usually have to be settled before a transfer. Your attorney can pay them if the POA allows it.
Can one POA cover more than one vehicle?
Yes, as long as each vehicle is clearly identified in the document.
