Overview
What is power of attorney attestation?
A power of attorney authorises a person or firm abroad to act for your company: register a branch, sign contracts, file trademarks, handle tenders or appear before courts and ministries.
Company POAs are normally supported by a board resolution. They are notarised, attested by the chamber where required, and then go to the MEA for apostille or attestation, followed by embassy legalisation for non-Hague countries.
Who issues it in India
A power of attorney is executed by your company's authorised signatory, on stamp paper or letterhead as required, and signed before a notary.
Why it is needed abroad
- Branch or company registration
- Appointing a local representative
- Trademark filings, tenders and court cases
