If a company has several founders, the presence of all of them is required to make any changes to the composition. However, in some cases, the legislation allows the use of powers of attorney confirming the representative's authority to act on behalf of the founder. In this case, identification and confirmation of consent is carried out via videoconference with a representative of the registration authorities. This method greatly simplifies the procedure for those outside the Emirates.
If it is necessary to replace the manager of the firm who is not a founder, his personal presence is not required. As a rule, the replacement procedure is prescribed in the Articles of Association, and it is sufficient to follow the rules set out therein.
To add a new founder, his personal documents, a valid license and confirmation of the absence of overdue state payments or debts are required. This is a standard procedure for checking the financial condition of the company before making changes to its structure.
Edits can be registered either online or offline. In-person attendance speeds up the process considerably, allowing registration to be completed in one day. A remote procedure can take up to five business days.
