Apostille for a power of attorney
A power of attorney used abroad usually needs an apostille — an internationally recognized certificate that verifies it's genuine so authorities in another country will accept it. It's typically required for property, banking, and legal matters handled overseas on your behalf.
LuroDocs determines whether your power of attorney goes through the Florida Secretary of State or the US Department of State, obtains the apostille, and arranges a certified or sworn translation when the destination country requires one. You get the authenticated physical original back, ready to file.
Good to know about apostilling a power of attorney
- In Florida a power of attorney must be signed in front of a notary AND two witnesses (Fla. Stat. §709.2105) — and the witnesses can't also be the notary.
- We can provide the witnesses if you don't have them, and apostille it afterward.
This is general process information, not legal advice. LuroDocs is not a law firm; you're responsible for confirming what your situation requires — check with the receiving authority or a licensed attorney.
