Power of attorney for Costa Rica: what and why
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. A power of attorney is executed by your company's authorised signatory, on stamp paper or letterhead as required, and signed before a notary.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Costa Rica usually ask for a legalised power of attorney for branch or company registration, appointing a local representative or trademark filings, tenders and court cases.
A power of attorney issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Costa Rica accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
