Lawyer in Karachi for Pakistanis in the UAE

How do I make a power of attorney in the UAE for use in Pakistan?

1. 1

   Get the power of attorney drafted

   We draft it for the exact matter and send two typed copies ready for signature.

2. 2

   Gather your documents

   The power of attorney and a copy, your passport and visa or Emirates ID copies, photographs, and your attorney's CNIC copy.

3. 3

   Appear in person

   Attend the Consulate General in Dubai or the Embassy in Abu Dhabi. The applicant must be present.

4. 4

   Pay the fee

   The Dubai consulate lists AED 40 for this service.

5. 5

   Send it to Karachi

   Courier the original to your attorney for registration and use.

If you hold a CNIC or NICOP, NADRA's online portal lets you apply with a video interview instead of a visit.

My parent has died — is there anything extra for their property?

Yes. The Dubai consulate requires a photocopy of the succession certificate when the power of attorney concerns a deceased parent's property. That means the heirs usually need the succession certificate, or at least the application, in place first. We can run both together so nothing waits on the other.
