Which power of attorney is suitable
A properly executed notarial act may be authenticated by apostille or legalization for international use.
Exclusions
The official exclusion list mentions certain notarial actions involving copies and translation. Do not assume every notarial document is automatically eligible.
Translation
A power of attorney often needs translation into the destination language. Confirm whether a bilingual instrument is accepted or a separate translation is required.
What to confirm
Ask the foreign notary, bank, court or registrar about form, validity period, apostille and translation.
Frequently asked questions
Can every notarized power of attorney be apostilled?
No. The exact notarial act and exclusions must be checked.
Can it be bilingual?
Sometimes, but acceptance depends on the recipient.
Does the translation need an apostille?
Not always.
