LuroDocs
Letter of Authorization
I, [ Full Legal Name ] (“Principal”), residing at [ Mailing Address ], hereby designate and appoint LuroDocs, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Agent”), as my authorized representative for the limited purpose described below.
1. Scope of Authority
Principal authorizes Agent to act on Principal’s behalf solely for the following purposes:
- Prepare, verify, submit, receive, and return the document(s) listed in Section 2 for the purpose of obtaining apostille, notarial authentication, federal authentication, embassy legalization, certified translation, or related document-authentication services.
- Communicate with, submit requests to, and receive responses from the Florida Secretary of State (Division of Corporations, Apostille Section), the U.S. Department of State (Office of Authentications), any U.S. state’s Secretary of State, any foreign embassy or consulate, Florida-commissioned notaries public, certified or sworn translators, and courier services — each as necessary to complete the services above.
- Execute ancillary request forms required by the issuing authorities (including without limitation the Florida Apostille & Notarial Certificate Request Form) solely to transmit Principal’s document(s).
- Pay, on Principal’s behalf, the fees charged by the above authorities and service providers, and to be reimbursed by Principal for those pass-through amounts.
- Receive on Principal’s behalf the authenticated document(s) and any correspondence from the authorities listed above, and to forward them to Principal at the address specified above or in Principal’s LuroDocs account.
2. Documents Covered — Schedule A
This authorization applies only to the specific document(s) itemized in Schedule A below (the “Covered Documents”). It does not authorize Agent to handle any other documents not listed here.
3. Limitations
- This authorization does not grant Agent power to execute documents on Principal’s behalf substantively — it is limited to transmitting Principal’s own signed documents and the ministerial forms required by the authorities above.
- This authorization does not make Agent a fiduciary of Principal and creates no power of attorney beyond the narrow scope above.
- Agent is not authorized to alter Principal’s documents in any substantive way, to provide legal advice, or to represent Principal in any legal or administrative proceeding.
- Agent may subcontract with independent third-party notaries, translators, and couriers; Agent remains responsible for selecting reasonably qualified subcontractors but is not liable for their independent acts or omissions beyond LuroDocs’ standard Terms of Service.
4. Effective Date and Duration
This authorization is effective on the date signed below and remains in effect until (a) completion of the services described above, (b) earlier written revocation by Principal, or (c) six (6) months from the date of signing, whichever occurs first. Principal may sign a renewal authorization at any time if additional time is needed.
Principal acknowledges that some destination authorities (including certain Italian, Spanish, and Latin American consulates) may require documents signed within the preceding 90 days. If Principal’s destination has a freshness requirement, Agent will flag it and request a fresh authorization when appropriate.
5. Revocation
Principal may revoke this authorization at any time by written notice to Agent at legal@lurodocs.com. Revocation does not affect acts already performed by Agent in reliance on this authorization prior to Agent’s receipt of the revocation.
6. Governing Law
This authorization is governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
7. Acknowledgment and Signature
Principal has read, understood, and agreed to this Letter of Authorization and the LuroDocs Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
