When you need a legalised power of attorney in Panama
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.
Companies dealing with Panama 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 and then apostilled by the MEA. Panama accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
