Document background
The Certificate of Final Acceptance is a critical document used in the United Arab Emirates to formally conclude major projects and contracts. It is typically issued after the successful completion of the defects liability period and when all contractual obligations have been fulfilled. This document is particularly important in the UAE's construction and development sectors, where it serves as a legal milestone marking the transfer of responsibility from the contractor to the client. The certificate must comply with UAE Civil Code requirements and often needs to align with specific emirate-level regulations. A Certificate of Final Acceptance includes crucial details such as project completion verification, defects rectification confirmation, and relevant authority approvals. It's commonly used in both government and private sector projects, particularly where formal handover procedures are required, and plays a vital role in releasing final payments and performance securities.
