NOTARIZED DOCUMENT APOSTILLE

Power of Attorney Apostille Services

A power of attorney used abroad often requires an apostille or authentication. The document usually must be signed with a proper notarial certificate before it can be submitted to the responsible state authority.

What We Review

Notarization

We review the notarial certificate, signature, seal and state where the notarization occurred.

Destination

The country determines whether the document needs a Hague apostille or a non-Hague authentication and legalization process.

Document Use

Requirements may differ for property transactions, inheritance matters, banking, corporate representation or family matters.

Common Power of Attorney Requests

  • General or limited power of attorney
  • Real-estate or property power of attorney
  • Corporate or business authorization
  • Medical or family-related power of attorney
  • Authorization for use at an embassy, bank or foreign registry

State Rules Still Apply

A Texas-notarized power of attorney generally follows the Texas Secretary of State process. A document notarized in another state must follow that state’s process. The receiving country may also request a certified translation, but translation requirements should be confirmed with the receiving authority.

Before signing: Do not add or select a notarial certificate based only on internet advice. The signer or receiving authority should determine the correct notarial act; a notary cannot provide legal advice.
