Power of attorney for Nepal: 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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Nepal 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi.
