Power of attorney cost in Dubai: special POA price, line by line
The special power of attorney Dubai price has two parts: the government fee for notarising the POA, set by law and paid at cost, and our service price for drafting, Arabic and notarisation. Together they make up the power of attorney cost in Dubai. The government part is small. The service part depends on the work the document needs.

The two lines on every POA bill
Line 1: the government fee.
This is charged for the notary act, per party to the POA. Nobody can discount it, and nobody should mark it up. When you compare the cost of making a power of attorney between providers, set this line aside first. It is the same for everyone on the same route.
Line 2: the service price.
This covers the list of powers, checking names against ID, the Arabic by a legal translator registered with the Ministry of Justice, and the notarisation. This is where POA charges in Dubai differ from one provider to the next.
Power of attorney Dubai fees by route
Dubai has its own notary law, so the official fee depends on the route.
| Route | Official fee for a general or special POA |
|---|---|
| Federal schedule, public notary | AED 100 per party |
| Federal schedule, private notary | AED 130 per party (AED 100 plus 30 percent) |
| Dubai private notary | AED 100 per party registration plus AED 100 per signature |
| Dubai Courts POA attestation | We confirm the current fee when you book |
The number of parties is the number of people who sign. Two spouses giving one POA together are two principals. We tell you the count for your document before you pay.
Our power of attorney price
| POA type | Our service price |
|---|---|
| General power of attorney | From AED 1,500 |
| Special power of attorney | From AED 1,500 |
| Court case power of attorney | From AED 1,500 |
| Vehicle power of attorney | From AED 1,500 |
| Online POA with a remote session | From AED 1,500 |
| Urgent handling | From AED 250 extra |
| Translation coordination | From AED 350 extra |
| Courier pickup and delivery | From AED 80 extra |
All service prices are starting prices and are negotiable. Government fees are paid on top, at cost, exactly as the authority charges them. We confirm your final price before you pay.
A home visit is quoted on request, because it depends on the place. On the Dubai private notary route, the Dubai Courts decision sets AED 1,000 per trip outside the place of work.
Worked lines
These examples show how the lines add up, using our starting price.
One principal, special POA for a car sale, public notary.
Our service from AED 1,500, plus AED 100 for one party.
Two spouses, one special POA for a court case, private notary on the federal schedule.
Our service from AED 1,500, plus AED 130 for each of the two parties.
One principal, general POA going abroad.
Our service from AED 1,500, plus AED 100, plus the AED 2,000 MOFAIC fee, because MOFAIC lists a general POA as a commercial document.
Add AED 50 per page if a translation is notarised with the instrument.
In short
Special versus general: does the price change?
No. Item 9 covers "the general or special power of attorney" at the same AED 100 per party. A special POA names each act, which a court case, sale or car transfer needs (Federal Decree-Law No. 25 of 2025, Article 870). A POA in general terms covers acts of management only (Article 871).
Your options
The cheapest power of attorney
A
Use the Ministry of Justice digital POA service if your POA is one of the types it issues. It issues a digitally ratified POA without a visit to a notary office.
B
Ask for a POA only as wide as the task.
Fewer powers means less drafting and less risk.
Watch for
What changes the price
- The number of parties signing and the number of pages to translate.
- Whether the principal is abroad and needs an online session, a consul or foreign attestation.
- Whether the POA goes abroad and needs MOFAIC attestation.
- How many powers it holds: one car is simpler than a court case, a property and a bank account together.
When you see a power of attorney price online, check what it includes. Some quotes include the government fee, some do not, and some add courier and urgent charges later. Ask every provider for the two lines separately. If a site calls its service price an "official fee", treat that as a warning. For POA costs across every type, poaindubai.ae keeps a power of attorney Dubai cost guide.

Questions about fees
Questions about POA prices
How much is a special power of attorney in the UAE?
The government fee is AED 100 per party on the federal schedule, or AED 130 through a private notary on it. Our service starts from AED 1,500, with the government fee on top at cost.
What is the average cost to get a power of attorney?
We do not publish an average, because it depends on parties, pages and route. The fixed part is the government fee. The rest is the service price, which you should see as its own line.
Is translation included in the price?
Translation coordination is an add-on from AED 350, and notarising a translation is AED 50 per page. We tell you the page count before you pay.
Is there a fee to cancel a POA?
The Dubai Land Department publishes its POA cancellation notarisation as a free service. See how to cancel a power of attorney.
