What to pay attention to?

  1. Since a power of attorney is needed for use in Russia, we recommend clarifying which there are requirements for issuing specific powers of attorney in Russia.
    For example, for the sale of property (a car, an apartment, a house, a land plot), it is necessary to specify the exact data of the property in the power of attorney. For a vehicle, this is the VIN number, model and make of the car, year of manufacture, number of the vehicle registration certificate. For real estate - cadastral number, area, address according to an extract from Rosreestr and other information.
  2. Precise wording of authority. Explain to the notary why a power of attorney is needed, and even better, bring a list of already formulated powers. Templates for some powers of attorney (for the sale of property, for example) can be found on the Internet. For more complex powers of attorney, we advise you to contact lawyers.
  3. Translation of seals. Some places require translation of seals, including the seal of the notary with whom you issued the power of attorney. In such cases, we recommend that you translate and certify the translation in Russia.
