Start with action in Georgia
The text of the power of attorney is not prepared “in general,” but for a specific result: a real estate transaction, actions in a bank, registration of a company, court, inheritance, or receipt of a document. First, the requirements of the Georgian authority are clarified, then a power of attorney is drawn up abroad.
What to check in a project
- exact data of the principal and representative;
- specific powers without ambiguity;
- information about the object, company, account or case;
- validity period and the right to delegate powers;
- the right to sign, submit and receive documents;
- the right to make payments or dispose of property - only if it is really needed.
Apostille, legalization or exception
After notarization, they check how the document is recognized in Georgia. The route depends on the issuing State, the applicable international agreement and the type of document. It cannot be automatically assumed that an apostille is always required.
Translation into Georgian
For use in a Georgian authority, a foreign power of attorney is usually submitted with a translation in a suitable form. Before translation, names, document numbers, dates and special terms are checked so that the data matches passports, registers and other case materials.
Original, copy and application set
The receiving authority may require the original power of attorney, apostille or legalization mark, full translation and related attachments. The scan is suitable for preliminary verification, but does not always replace the paper original when submitting.
Common reasons for re-registration
- the power of attorney was drawn up before the requirements of the Georgian authority were verified;
- a special authority has been omitted;
- The spelling of the name does not match;
- the apostille or legalization was done in the wrong order;
- not the entire document has been translated or the attachment is missing;
- the validity period and delegation of powers have not been considered.
