Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your concern.

We fully understand the importance of ensuring your freedom of movement in the UAE, and we are ready to handle this matter on your behalf with efficiency and confidentiality.

Our Commitment to You:

At Al Fahad Legal Consulting, we provide end-to-end legal support to confirm whether you have any travel bans, criminal cases, civil cases, arrest warrants, or execution files registered against your name in Dubai or across the UAE.

With over 16 years of proven experience, our firm has successfully assisted thousands of clients in similar situations.

Steps Required to Begin:

To initiate the travel ban check, we require a Power of Attorney (POA) enabling us to represent you before government authorities and police stations. To prepare and notarize the POA, kindly provide us with:

• A copy of your old and new passports

• A copy of your visa

• A copy of your Emirates ID

Once received by email, we will draft the POA in both English and Arabic for your review, signature, and return.

Process of POA Notarization:

• The POA will be submitted to the Federal Notary Public.

• The notary will provide you with a secure link for a remote verification session, where your original passport will be checked, and you will sign electronically.

Professional Fees:

• Notary Fees: USD 165 (paid directly to the notary) – you will receive a digital copy of the notarized POA.

• Legal Fees for Travel Ban Check: USD 325 – Once we receive the notarized POA, we will conduct a full check through the UAE criminal record system. The process usually takes 4 working days.

Next Steps After the Check:

• If no travel ban is found, we will issue you an official confirmation.

• If a travel ban or case is identified, we will arrange a Zoom consultation with you to explain the legal procedures and immediately advise on the best course of action to resolve it.

Why Choose Us:

Unlike general legal services, we specialize in UAE travel bans and litigation matters, giving us unmatched expertise and direct access to the authorities.

We ensure confidentiality, accuracy, and swift action qualities you will not find elsewhere.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with your question number.

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for reaching out.

It is possible to conduct a travel ban or criminal record check in Dubai and across the UAE through the competent authorities.

This process generally requires your passport copy and, in some cases, a signed authorization letter.

The timeline and cost depend on the specific authority and scope of the check.

To proceed smoothly and ensure accurate results, we recommend booking a legal consultation or issuing a power of attorney so our office can carry out the process on your behalf.

Please feel free to book a consultation through our website or contact us to arrange representation.

Best regards

Travel Ban Reasons: Common causes include unpaid debts, criminal investigations, overstaying visas, or labor disputes.

Appeals: If you discover a travel ban, consult with a legal professional to understand your options for lifting the ban.

Regular Checks: Even if you don't have a current issue, it's advisable to periodically check your status, especially if you've had financial or legal matters in the UAE.

We are honored to represent you legally. If you wish to be represented, please contact us via email or by phone.

Thank you for contacting us via Legal Advice Middle East.

 

There are several official ways to confirm whether a person has any travel ban, criminal flag, or pending case in Dubai or the wider UAE.

In fact, we recently handled a similar request for a foreign client who wanted reassurance before flying into the country.

By filing an official inquiry through the competent courts and police authorities, we were able to obtain a clear status report confirming his situation before arrival.

The process involves submitting a formal request to the concerned authority to verify if your name or passport is flagged.

Our office prepares and files this request on your behalf and follows up until confirmation is issued.

To proceed, we typically require a clear copy of your passport and a signed authorization letter allowing us to represent you in the inquiry.

The usual timeline depends on the Emirate involved, but initial confirmations can often be obtained within a few working days.

A precise timeframe can be given once we review your documents. The cost of the service will be clarified once we assess your file, since it may vary depending on the scope of checks required across different Emirates.

Our multilingual consultants (Arabic, English, Russian, Hindi, and Chinese) will support you throughout the process to ensure you travel with peace of mind.

This response is provided by RASHID ALKAITOOB ADVOCATES & LEGAL CONSULTANTS, based solely on the information you shared and does not constitute a final legal opinion.

A binding assessment requires reviewing your full documents. We would appreciate your positive review of our office after we assist you.
