Power of attorney for Spain: 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.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
In Spain, 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 and then apostilled by the MEA. Spain accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Spain accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Spanish translation made in Spain; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
