Power of attorney in New Taipei
In New Taipei, you sign your power of attorney before a notary within the jurisdiction of the New Taipei District Court (parts of northern New Taipei fall under the Shilin District Court), at a time and place near you in Banqiao, Xinzhuang, Zhonghe and Yonghe. We then take care of authentication at the Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) headquarters in Taipei and legalization at the representative office.

A power of attorney (授權書 or 委託書) lets someone act for you when you cannot be there: selling property in your home country, handling an inheritance, opening a company or representing you before a bank. For the document to work abroad, it usually has to be signed before a notary in Taiwan, authenticated by BOCA and legalized by the destination country's representative office.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to your office from New Taipei?
No. Clients in New Taipei can send scans for a quote by email and courier originals to us. When a step requires you in person, such as signing before a notary, we arrange it within the jurisdiction of the New Taipei District Court (parts of northern New Taipei fall under the Shilin District Court).
Can I sign a power of attorney without going to the notary?
No. Signature authentication requires you to sign in person in front of the notary with valid identification. We prepare everything in advance so the appointment takes as little time as possible.
The foreign bank sent me its own form. Can you use it?
Yes. We usually work with the receiving institution's form and add a translation or a bilingual layout so the Taiwanese notary can authenticate it.
