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.
