A cross-border power of attorney should state the scope, validity period and the exact transactions covered, and be accompanied by a company affidavit showing the signatory can bind the company.
What to understand before you start collecting documents: a cross-border power of attorney should state the scope, validity period and the exact transactions covered, and be accompanied by a company affidavit showing the signatory can bind the company. Overseas banks and company registries routinely reject documents missing that proof of signing authority. Tell us the destination country or authority and we run translation, notarial certification, MFA legalisation and embassy attestation as one job.
