Are you interested to know how to apostille a power of attorney?
Do you need to provide written authorization to another person to represent you in a foreign country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention?
The first step is to have your power of attorney created by a professional from the Country requesting it. For example, if the Country of Mexico is requesting a signed and notarized power of attorney, we recommend that an attorney or paralegal in Mexico prepare your document both in English and Spanish. Some US States will not apostille a document written only in a foreign language. In order to avoid this, we recommend your documents to be written in both languages.
In order to apostille your power of attorney, you must mail in the original notarized copy to our office for processing. A power of attorney can only be authenticated from the State the document was notarized in. The notary must be commissioned and must use proper notarial wording.
The Secretary of State does not have the authority to authenticate documents notarized in other States. For example, if your power of attorney was signed and notarized in the State of California, the State of California is the only State that can issue the apostille. Another example is if your power of attorney was signed and notarized in the State of New York, only the State of New York can issue the apostille.
Some States require a notarized document to also be authenticated by the County Clerk. These States include: Hawaii apostille, Kentucky apostille, Maryland apostille, New York apostille, and Tennessee apostille.
