International Authority Documents
International Power
of Attorney
A power of attorney for international use must meet the authentication requirements of both the executing jurisdiction and the receiving country. The Milano Seal™ handles the complete execution and authentication chain — from notarization through the competent apostille/authentication authority and international delivery.
What Makes an International POA Different
A power of attorney intended for foreign use may require notarization, apostille or authentication, translation, witness formalities, original-document handling, or other receiving-authority requirements. The correct path depends on the document origin and type, destination, current treaty status, competent authority, and the institution that will receive it.
The specific requirements vary by destination country, by the nature of the power being granted (general, specific, real estate, healthcare, etc.), and in some cases by the specific municipality, court, registry, bank, counsel, or other receiving authority. The Milano Seal™ reviews each Matter individually before execution and release.
