Do you need to apostille a Power of Attorney signed and notarized in the state of Minnesota?
In order to obtain an Minnesota apostille on your power of attorney, it must first be signed and notarized before the apostille can be affixed to it.
By obtaining an apostille on a power of attorney, you can avoid traveling altogether saving you time and money. For example, if you would like to sell your property in Mexico, you can assign your family member, friend, or attorney to act on your behalf while you are still in the United States.
In order to apostille your power of attorney, you must mail in the original signed and notarized copy to our office for processing. A power of attorney can only be authenticated from the State the documents were notarized in. The notary must be commissioned and use proper notarial wording for their State.
On the second page of our order form, we state the following… If your documents require notarization, please be sure to find an experienced Minnesota notary public with a minimum of 5 years of service. In addition to the notary’s stamp and signature, the notary must also include proper notarial wording. The notary can reference their notary handbook provided by the state.
We recommend that your power of attorney be prepared by a professional from the Country requesting it. For example, if the Country of Mexico is requesting a signed and notarized power of attorney, we recommend that an attorney or paralegal in Mexico prepare your document both in English and Spanish. Some US States will not apostille a document written in a foreign language. In order to avoid this, we recommend your documents to be written in both languages.
If you are located outside of the USA and need to have your signed power of attorney authenticated for a country other than the USA, you can contact the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office and meet with a U.S. Federal notary. Once notarized, you can then mail in this document to our Washington DC apostille office for processing.
Obtaining an Minnesota apostille on a power of attorney can be complicated and time-consuming. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
