What is a notarial power of attorney?

A notarial power of attorney is an official document that gives us permission to do something on your behalf, such as signing a document or submitting an application to a government agency. You are essentially giving us your voice or your hand, so that we can act on your behalf.

The special thing about a notarial power of attorney is that it is recorded or approved by a notary. A notary is a specially trained lawyer who checks whether you really understand what you are signing, whether you agree voluntarily, and whether everything is in accordance with the law. This way, everyone, including the government, knows that the power of attorney is valid and reliable.

Such a power of attorney is useful, for example, if you are unable to come to Spain yourself to apply for an NIE number. In that case, you can authorise us to do so on your behalf, with an official document certified by a solicitor.

Information and costs of legalising a power of attorney

After placing your order, you will receive a notarised power of attorney from us, which you can easily have legalised by an online solicitor designated by us. Of course, you will also receive a list of instructions/manual on how to have this legalised so that you can do it step by step. The entire process takes only 5 minutes, is completely digital and can be completed 100% via your phone or tablet. For a fixed fee of £95, the notary will take care of the legalisation and send the notarised power of attorney to us by registered post. We usually receive it within 1 to 2 days – then all you have to do is wait. It’s that simple!
