Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (sometimes shortened as PoA) is a document that officially states that a legal representative (such as a lawyer) has the authorization to represent and act on behalf of a third party (a client of legal services, for example).

This document is usually necessary for the provision of corporate services, such as the remote registration of a company. In most cases, the Power of Attorney must be certified through an Apostille or notarization, in order to have legal value outside of the jurisdiction of residency of the represented party.
