Overview

Power of attorney for Laos: 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.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

Companies dealing with Laos are most often asked for a legalised power of attorney during branch or company registration, as well as 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 Laos in New Delhi.

Process

The Laos process for an Indian power of attorney

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the power of attorney and any list your buyer or authority in Laos gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the power of attorney or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The power of attorney is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the power of attorney, which the Laos Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Laos Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Laos in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  6. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Original POA signed before a notary
  • Board resolution authorising the signatory
  • Passport copies of the signatory and the attorney
  • Company registration copy
  • Certified Lao translation, if the authority in Laos asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection

  • Name the attorney exactly as in their passport.
  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Laos Embassy compares names across the set.
  • Spell out the powers clearly; vague POAs are rejected abroad.
  • Sign the POA in India if it is to be legalised in India.
