How to prepare and submit this document
- 1 Check your MOA for board meeting requirements. Review your Memorandum of Association (MOA) to confirm the quorum and voting threshold for board resolutions. Most UAE LLCs require a simple majority, but some MOAs specify unanimous consent for major decisions like loans or property purchases.
- 2 Draft the resolution with specific authority. State exactly what is being authorized: bank account opening, loan amount, contract signing, or appointment of a signatory. Vague resolutions like "general business matters" are rejected by banks and government departments.
- 3 Hold the meeting and record attendance. Conduct the board meeting (in person or video conference as permitted by your MOA). Record the date, location, attendees, and voting result. Attach the meeting minutes to the resolution.
- 4 Sign, stamp, and notarize if required. All attending board members must sign. For bank account opening, most UAE banks require the resolution to be notarized by a Notary Public. For internal decisions, company stamp may suffice.
Common mistakes that get this document rejected
- ✕ Using a resolution template that does not match your company type — LLC, FZE, and FZ-LLC have different requirements
- ✕ Not specifying the exact amount or limit for loans — banks reject open-ended borrowing resolutions
- ✕ Missing the meeting date and location — banks verify this against their records and your MOA
- ✕ Using a resolution older than 3 months — most UAE banks treat resolutions as stale after 90 days
Frequently asked questions
Do all board resolutions need to be notarized in the UAE?
No. Internal decisions (appointing a manager, approving budgets) usually only need company stamp. External transactions (bank account opening, property purchase, major loans) typically require notarization by a UAE Notary Public. Check with the receiving institution.
Can a sole shareholder issue a board resolution?
Yes. A single-shareholder company (FZE or sole establishment) can issue a "sole shareholder resolution" instead of a board resolution. The format is similar but states that the sole shareholder decided the matter.
How long is a board resolution valid?
There is no legal expiry, but banks and government departments in the UAE typically require resolutions dated within the last 3 months. If your transaction is delayed, be prepared to issue a fresh resolution.
