Power of Attorney Apostille for United Arab Emirates

Korean powers of attorney for the UAE are notarized documents, so they take notarization, then Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) authentication, then UAE Embassy in Seoul legalization — not an apostille. The UAE is not a Hague Apostille Convention party; confirm current status in the HCCH table. This is required for legal representation before UAE courts and authorities, property transactions in the UAE, DED business setup, and corporate matters handled by UAE lawyers. Arabic translation is added if required by the receiving authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an apostille or embassy legalization for my Korean power of attorney in the UAE?

Embassy legalization. The UAE is not a Hague Apostille party (confirm current status in the HCCH table), so a Korean power of attorney for UAE use takes OKA authentication followed by UAE Embassy legalization in Seoul — not an apostille.
