In the UAE, Emirates ID serves as the primary form of identification for residents. Many official transactions, including those with free zones, require an Emirates ID for verification and record-keeping purposes.

It ensures the person signing has the legal authority to do so on behalf of the company. So it will be difficult without Emirates ID.

Hi.

The agent will require proof of identification if he is to be a signatory to any agreement. Even if he is not a direct contracting party.

In the UAE, a proxy agent is typically appointed by a company to act on its behalf in dealings with government entities and free zones.

In most cases, the proxy agent will need to have a valid Emirates ID or Emirates Pass to represent the company in legal matters or sign agreements with the free zone.

It is important to check the specific regulations of the free zone in question, as requirements may vary depending on the location.

In some cases, a proxy agent may be able to act as a signatory without an Emirates ID or Emirates Pass, but they may still need to provide other forms of identification or authorization.

It is recommended to consult with legal counsel or the relevant authorities to ensure compliance with regulations and requirements when appointing a proxy agent to represent a company in dealings with a free zone.
