A Power of Attorney (POA) to sell a vehicle in the UAE is a legal document that authorizes another person to act on your behalf to complete the sale and transfer of ownership of your vehicle. This is especially useful when the vehicle owner is unable to be physically present for the transaction due to travel, business commitments, or other reasons.
What is a Vehicle Sale Power of Attorney?
A vehicle sale POA allows a designated individual (agent) to handle all formalities related to selling a car, including signing documents, dealing with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), and completing ownership transfer procedures.
