How to Apostille a Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone the authority to act on your behalf in legal or financial matters. If you need to use a POA in a foreign country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will need to apostille the document to ensure it is recognized internationally.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to apostille a Power of Attorney.

---

Step 1: Create the Power of Attorney

The first step is to prepare your Power of Attorney (POA) correctly:

• Drafted by a Professional: It’s advisable to have the POA prepared by a legal professional in the destination country. For example, if you need to use the POA in Mexico, consult an attorney or paralegal in Mexico to draft the document in both English and Spanish.
• Dual Language Requirement: Some U.S. states may not apostille documents written exclusively in a foreign language. Ensure the document is bilingual to avoid complications.

---

Step 2: Notarize the Document

The POA must be signed in the presence of a notary public:

• The notary must be commissioned in the state where the document is being signed.
• The notarial wording must comply with the requirements of that state.
• Ensure the notary seal, signature, and the date of notarization are clearly visible and accurate.

Step 3: Submit to the Correct Secretary of State

The apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State in the state where the POA was notarized:

• For example, if the document was notarized in California, only the California Secretary of State can issue the apostille.
• Similarly, if notarized in New York, the New York Secretary of State must issue the apostille.

Step 4: Send the Original Document for Processing

Mail the original, notarized POA to Hague Apostille Services for expedited processing:

• Ensure the document is in proper format and notarized correctly.
• Include a completed order form with your contact information.
• Choose the appropriate shipping method for the return of your apostilled document.
