Argentine Power of Attorney and PoA’s in Argentina

 

An Argentine power of attorney is originally written in Spanish by either an Argentine Lawyer or an Argentine Escribano, it was signed in the presence of an Argentine Escribano, and it has all the formal seals and stamps from the Escribano, the Escribano’s bar and the apostille from Argentina’s Foreign Ministry.

Different is a Power of Attorney that can be used in Argentina, which does not require all the formalities mentioned above. A power of attorney can be issued in any country in the world. In order to be valid it only requires being translated into Spanish, being apostilled if the country where it was signed admits the Hague Convention stamp (called “apostille”) or legalized by the consulate of the country where it was signed if that country doesn’t admit the apostille.
