A Vehicle Management Power of Attorney authorizes a named agent to handle ongoing administrative and registration tasks for your vehicle — without selling or transferring ownership. Used by expats managing UAE vehicles remotely, fleet owners, and individuals who cannot attend RTA in person. A Vehicle Management POA is distinct from a Sale POA: the agent manages but does NOT sell or export the vehicle unless these powers are added explicitly.
7 Tasks Authorized Under a Vehicle Management POA
- Renew vehicle registration annually at RTA — including payment of renewal fees
- Settle traffic fines and pay government fees at RTA on your behalf
- Arrange and attend Muroor (RTA) vehicle inspection (Fahi) when required
- Coordinate vehicle insurance renewal — sign documents and collect policy
- Authorize vehicle servicing and maintenance at specified workshops
- Represent you before RTA, Dubai Police Traffic Department, and traffic authorities
- For companies: manage entire vehicle fleet registrations, renewals, and inspections
Sale and Export Are NOT Included — Separate POA Required
A Vehicle Management POA does NOT authorize the agent to sell the vehicle, transfer ownership to another party, or export the vehicle outside the UAE. These are separate, higher-risk actions that require a dedicated Sale POA or Export POA naming the specific vehicle's chassis number and plate number. If your agent attempts to use a Management POA for a sale at RTA, it will be rejected. We always confirm the scope of authority before drafting.
Documents Required for a Vehicle Management POA
- Valid passport and Emirates ID of the vehicle owner (principal)
- Valid passport and Emirates ID of the agent
- Vehicle registration card (Mulkiya) — showing chassis number and plate number
- Driver's licences of both principal and agent (required by RTA)
- For companies: valid trade licence + Board Resolution authorizing the POA
A Vehicle Management POA is classified as a General POA under UAE law — authorizing broad ongoing administrative tasks rather than a single specific transaction. UAE law does not set a fixed maximum validity period for General POAs; the validity is whatever period is stated in the document itself. Best practice: specify a defined period (1–2 years) and renew as needed — this gives you regular checkpoints to reassess the agent relationship and update vehicle details. A Special POA (sale, export, ownership transfer) expires upon completion of the specific authorized task. Both types can be revoked at any time by notarizing a Revocation Deed.
Share vehicle details and management scope

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We can include multiple specified vehicles in a single POA.
Validity is specified in the document, typically 1-2 years. We advise on the right duration.
Yes — a fleet management POA can cover multiple vehicles. You can either: (1) list each vehicle by its chassis number and plate number individually — this is the safest approach; or (2) use the phrase 'all vehicles registered in my name' — accepted by RTA for management tasks but not for sale or ownership transfer. For companies managing large fleets, we draft a comprehensive fleet management POA that covers all vehicles under the company trade licence.
Yes — provided the POA explicitly includes authority to 'arrange and attend vehicle inspection (Muroor / Fahi inspection) at RTA-approved centres.' This includes: booking the inspection appointment, attending the inspection on your behalf, and paying inspection fees. The Muroor inspection is mandatory for vehicles over 3 years old before annual registration renewal. If the POA does not explicitly mention inspection authority, the agent may not be able to submit the vehicle for inspection in your name.
UAE law does not set a fixed maximum validity period for a Vehicle Management POA — the validity is whatever period is specified in the document itself. Unlike a Special POA (which expires when the specific task is complete), a Management POA remains active until it expires or is revoked. Best practice: specify 1–2 years and renew as needed — this gives you regular checkpoints to reassess the agent relationship and update vehicle details if needed.
Only if the POA explicitly grants sub-delegation rights. Under UAE agency law, an agent cannot transfer their authority to a third party unless this right is expressly stated in the original POA document. Without a sub-delegation clause, only the named agent can manage the vehicle. This is particularly relevant for companies that use a PRO (Public Relations Officer) who may further delegate to a driver or junior staff — the POA must explicitly permit this.
