Power of attorney for use abroad
A power of attorney for another country must satisfy both Russian law and the country where it will be used: scope of authority, format, language and validity period.
We draft the text — bilingual if useful — arrange signing at a notary, translate it and obtain an apostille or legalisation. We also prepare foreign powers of attorney for use in Russia.

Frequently asked questions
Can a power of attorney be made in two languages?
Yes, and a bilingual document is often easier to use abroad. We check whether the receiving side accepts this format.
How can a foreign power of attorney be used in Russia?
Usually it needs an apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, then a notarised Russian translation in Russia.
