What we need from you
- Draft text or the recipient’s template (we can draft a bilingual version)
- Valid passport or ID card of the signatory
- Destination country and, if known, the requirements of the recipient
- Optional: sworn translation into the target language
The recipient normally needs the power of attorney in its own language. We draft bilingual texts so that a separate translation is often unnecessary; otherwise a sworn translation is added.

Chambers of notaries. Issued by: Notaire
Yes. The apostille must be issued in France, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled power of attorney anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.
An Article 12 objection is in force between France and Bangladesh and Kosovo; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.
The HCCH record lists: Pour les apostilles délivrées par les conseils régionaux et les chambres interdépartementales de notaires Pour les personnes physiques - 10 euros par acte si la demande de délivrance concerne jusqu’à trois actes (20 euro.

The authority responsible for notarial documents in the notary’s country – the Landgericht in Germany, the Secretary of State in the US, the notarial college in Spain, the prefecture or procura in Italy. In some US states the county clerk must authenticate the notary first.
