What is a shareholder resolution for bank account opening?

It is a written decision, signed by all shareholders, authorising the company to open a corporate bank account and naming the authorised signatories and their signing limits. UAE banks require it as part of the account-opening file, together with the trade licence, MOA and signatory IDs.

How do I get a shareholders resolution attested in the UAE?

Sign the resolution, have the signatures attested by a UAE notary public, then submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for attestation. If the resolution will be used outside the UAE, add legalisation by the destination country's embassy, and attach a certified legal translation if the receiving party works in Arabic.

Does a bank shareholder resolution need to be notarised?

Most UAE banks accept a resolution signed by all shareholders and stamped with the company seal, but many request notarisation — and always do so when a shareholder signs abroad or by proxy. Confirm with your relationship manager before booking the notary appointment.

What is a shareholder resolution?

A formal written decision passed by the shareholders of a company recording an approval, appointment, or amendment. In the UAE it is signed by all shareholders and typically stamped with the company seal.

Is a shareholder resolution legally required in the UAE?

Yes — UAE licensing authorities, notary publics and banks require a signed shareholder resolution before processing most corporate changes including share transfers, capital changes, manager appointments and MOA amendments.

When is attestation required?

Attestation is required whenever the resolution is used outside the company: with banks, notary public, courts, government authorities, embassies, or foreign counterparties. The typical chain is notary public → UAE MOFA → destination-country embassy.

Do all shareholder resolutions require notarisation?

No. Bank mandates, share transfers, capital changes and MOA amendments almost always require notarisation. Internal governance resolutions usually do not.

Can I edit the generated document?

Yes — every section of the generated document is editable directly on the live preview. You can change wording, add clauses, adjust the shareholders table and update signatures.

Can DocMak assist with attestation?

Yes. Use the 'Request attestation quote' button and our team will reply with a same-day quote covering notary, MOFA and embassy attestation.

Which authorities commonly require shareholder resolutions in the UAE?

DED, DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC, ADGM, notary publics, MOFA, courts, immigration, banks, and foreign embassies routinely require them.

Shareholder resolutions accepted by UAE banks and authorities

A shareholder resolution records a decision that the owners of a company have formally approved, such as opening a bank account, transferring shares, appointing or removing a manager, changing share capital or amending the memorandum of association. In the UAE, banks, notaries, free zone registries and licensing departments usually ask to see a signed resolution before they will act on the change, so the wording, the list of shareholders and the signature block need to be clear and consistent.

DocMak gives you ready-made resolution formats with a proper company preamble, numbered resolved clauses, a shareholder table with ownership percentages and space for signatures and the company stamp. Choose English, Arabic or a bilingual layout when the document will be presented to a local authority or notary. Edit every clause on the live preview, save the resolution for reuse, download a PDF or send it by email to the shareholders who need to sign. Before submission, confirm whether your bank or registry also requires notarisation or attestation.
