Document background
The Certificate of Incumbency and Authority is a crucial document in the UAE business environment, particularly for companies engaged in international trade or requiring formal verification of their corporate structure and authority. This certificate is commonly required by banks, government authorities, and international business partners to verify the legitimacy of company representatives and their authority to act on behalf of the organization. Under UAE law, particularly Federal Law No. 32 of 2021, companies must maintain clear records of their corporate structure and authorized personnel. The certificate serves as an official verification tool, often requiring notarization and potentially legalization by the UAE Ministry of Justice, especially when used for international purposes or major financial transactions.
