How to send a power of attorney abroad

Why document integrity is critical

A power of attorney often contains notary forms, signatures, seals, stitching, and an apostille. A crumpled, torn, or damp document may be rejected by a foreign institution, forcing you to start the process over.

Practical preparation tips

• Use a sturdy A4 envelope to prevent the document from bending.
• Add a cardboard backing for extra rigidity.
• Make a copy or scan for your own records before shipping.
• Do not use additional staples on stitched documents.
• Verify the accuracy of the recipient's address—powers of attorney are often addressed to a notary, lawyer, or institution.

Typical use cases

Most often, powers of attorney sent abroad involve vehicle disposal, legal representation, real estate transactions, or banking matters. We do not provide legal advice on the document's content—our part of the job is logistical: to deliver the original quickly and safely.
