How to Properly Draft a Power of Attorney Text for the Consulate?

We have previously discussed how to formalize a power of attorney for someone in Russia while being in Northern Cyprus. Now, let's talk about how to handle the text of the power of attorney.

THE TEXT OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY CAN BE:

Written independently, adhering to the conditions. Drafted with the assistance of a consulate employee. Written using a ready-made form from the consulate.

How to Independently Draft the Text of the Power of Attorney

The notarial department of the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Northern Cyprus has specific requirements for drafting the text of the power of attorney. It can be written in a free form but must contain the following elements:

• Document title (it should be: POWER OF ATTORNEY).
• Place and time when the power of attorney was issued.
• Full name, date of birth, place of birth, permanent address, and passport details (number, date of issue, and place of issue as stated in the passport without abbreviations) of the grantor.
• Full name, date of birth, place of birth, permanent address, and passport details (number, date of issue, and place of issue without abbreviations) of the authorized person.
• Validity period of the power of attorney.
• If applicable, specification of the conditions for the delegation of authority to third parties.

There should also be a space for the signature with a decryption, but the grantor's signature is only affixed in the presence of a consular officer.

Drafting the Power of Attorney in the Presence of a Consular Employee

If you encounter difficulties in drafting the power of attorney, you can involve a consulate employee dealing with notary matters. To do this, when scheduling an appointment, it is necessary to book two consecutive actions. In this case, during a personal meeting, they will help you draft the text, and the second action will notarize the document.
