Here are the guidelines for preparing a personal power of attorney for foreign use...
Obtain a sample power of attorney from the country of intended use, tailor it to your needs, and then sign, have your signature notarized. For example, if your power of attorney is intended for Mexico, a Mexican attorney should draft the document for you (either in Spanish or in English, or both).
Your power of attorney should be
- dated,
- properly notarized, and
- apostilled (if the country of intended use joined the Hague Apostille Convention) or legalized by the Embassy of the country of intended use (if your are sending it to a non-Hague country).
Remotely (electronically) notarized powers of attorneys are acceptable for apostilles provided the notary is an active registered remote notary in the State of Florida.
If there are more than one signer on the document, the notary should indicate whose signature(s) he/she is notarizing.
Powers of attorney in foreign languages are acceptable but the notarization must be in English.
Please note that, for apostille purposes, in a Spanish document the words "notario publico" are not allowed by most Secretaries of State, including the State of Florida.
In the State of Florida it is of utmost importance that the power of attorney is properly notarized. The proper notarial form will be the acknowledgment.
