Why Egypt asks for a legalised power of attorney
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.
Setting up a branch, appointing a local agent or opening a bank account in the Middle East usually starts with a legalised set of company documents from India.
In Egypt, a legalised power of attorney is typically requested for branch or company registration; it is also used for appointing a local representative and trademark filings, tenders and court cases.
A power of attorney issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi.
Egypt does not accept the apostille. Documents are legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi, and Egyptian ministries often expect an Arabic translation.
