Power of Attorney (POA) is a powerful legal document. When it comes to vehicles—whether you’re leasing, renting, buying, or selling—having a properly translated Vehicle POA is crucial in the UAE. At Al-Hamd Legal Translation, we ensure that your document is not only accurately translated but also legally recognized by UAE authorities.
What Is a Vehicle Power of Attorney (POA)?
A Vehicle POA gives another person the legal authority to act on your behalf in vehicle-related matters. This could involve:
Registering or deregistering a car
Selling or buying a vehicle
Renewing registration
Managing insurance
Handling legal disputes regarding the vehicle
If your original POA is in a foreign language, a certified legal translation into Arabic is mandatory for it to be valid in the UAE.
Why Is Vehicle POA Translation Important in the UAE?
The UAE mandates that all legal documents—especially POAs—must be translated into Arabic and attested for use in government transactions. Failure to do so can result in:
Application rejections
Legal liabilities
Delayed transactions
Voided agreements
Key Takeaway: Without certified translation, your POA may not hold legal value in the UAE—even if it’s valid in your home country.
