If you need to give someone permission to act on your behalf in another country, you may be required to apostille an authorization letter. This is common for legal, financial, real estate, or personal matters handled internationally.
Because authorization letters are private documents, they must be prepared correctly before they can be apostilled.
What Is an Authorization Letter?
An authorization letter is a written document that allows another person to act on your behalf.
Common uses include:
Handling legal matters
Managing property or real estate transactions
Accessing financial accounts
Representing you in another country
For international use, this document often needs an apostille to be accepted abroad.
Why Notarization Is Required
Authorization letters must be properly notarized before they can be apostilled.
This allows the state to:
Verify your identity
Confirm your signature
Validate the document for international use
Without notarization, the apostille cannot be issued.
