Why Zambia 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.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Zambia 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 High Commission of Zambia in New Delhi.
