Power of attorney for banking or business in Georgia without costly mistakes
We prepare a power of attorney for your exact task: opening a bank account or registering a sole trader or LLC. You receive notary-ready wording, document review, and support with apostille, legalization, and translation.
Do not sign a generic template. Banks and government authorities check the representative's specific powers. We approve the wording for your service first; only then should the document be notarized.

Registering the company, filing incorporation documents, and representation before government authorities.
Checklist
How to prepare the document: 6 steps
The exact procedure depends on the issuing country, and we confirm it before you start
- 1
Receive approved wording
We define the services and representative's powers, insert the passport details, and prepare wording for your notary.
- 2
Sign before a notary
You sign the power of attorney before a notary under the rules of the country where the document is issued.
- 3
Obtain an apostille or legalization
Hague Convention countries normally use an apostille; others use consular legalization unless an agreement with Georgia provides a different procedure.
- 4
Send a scan for review
Before shipping the original, we verify the details, signatures, seals, apostille, and completeness.
- 5
Send the original to Georgia
After approval, send the document to our representative using a tracked courier service.
- 6
Translate and use it in Georgia
We arrange the Georgian translation and notarization of the translation, then use the document for the selected services.
The procedure depends on the country
An apostille is not correct in every case. Before you visit a notary, we determine whether you need an apostille, consular legalization, or whether an international agreement removes additional authentication.
Why powers of attorney have to be redone
These mistakes can mean another notary visit and weeks of delay
- A generic online template omits powers required by the bank or registry.
- The document does not authorize signing applications, collecting documents, or dealing with a specific authority.
- The document was notarized before our representative checked its wording and passport details.
- The wrong country procedure was used: the apostille or required legalization is missing.
- Only a copy was sent when the selected procedure requires the original document.
Power of attorney for Georgia: FAQ
Apostille, translation, originals, and the scope of authority
Why is a power of attorney needed?
It legally authorizes our representative to act for you in Georgia: submit applications, sign documents, and collect results within the powers expressly stated in the document.
Is an apostille always required?
Not exactly the same everywhere. US documents usually need a county clerk or Secretary of State certification before the apostille goes on; UK documents go through a notarial certificate and then the FCDO. Most EU civil-law countries skip that middle step. We confirm the chain for your specific country before you book a notary.
Can I use my notary's or solicitor's own template?
Only after we review it. A US notary or UK solicitor confirms your identity and signature, not what a Georgian bank or the Public Registry needs to see written into the text. We provide the specific wording; your notary or solicitor still handles the actual signing.
Is a scan enough, or is the original required?
A scan lets us catch mistakes early, but Georgian banks and the Public Registry need the original apostilled document — or a legally valid electronic equivalent — in hand. We confirm the accepted format for your case before you ship anything.
How long should the document remain valid?
The appropriate term depends on the services and expected processing time. We recommend a term long enough for the selected process before preparing the final wording.
Can the power of attorney be revoked?
Yes. The principal may revoke it. The procedure depends on where it was issued, and the representative and organizations where it was used must be notified after revocation.
Can bank account, sole trader, and LLC powers be combined?
Yes, if every action and organization is listed in advance. We prepare one document for the selected bundle so that multiple powers of attorney are not needed.

•Reply within 24 hours•Case implementation planningUsing a foreign power of attorney in Georgia
For clients based in the US, UK, EU, and other common-law or civil-law jurisdictions outside the CIS, a power of attorney is what makes remote onboarding possible: a representative in Tbilisi opens the bank account, files the sole trader or LLC registration, and deals with the bank or the Public Registry on your behalf while you stay where you are.
Apostille or consular legalization
Common-law countries add an extra link to the chain that is easy to miss. In the US, a notary public's signature on the power of attorney usually needs to be certified by the county clerk or the Secretary of State before an apostille can be attached; in the UK, a notary public issues a notarial certificate that then goes to the FCDO for legalisation. Most EU civil-law countries skip that middle step and go straight from notary to apostille. We confirm which chain applies to you before you book a notary appointment.
Once the document reaches Georgia, we arrange a Georgian translation and have it certified by a translator recognized in Georgia — a translation done in advance abroad is normally not accepted here. The certified translation has to cover the power of attorney itself, the notarial certificate, and the apostille or legalisation stamp, not just the main text.
Why exact wording matters
Georgian banks and the Public Registry read a power of attorney literally. A generic US or UK template — "full power to act on my behalf in all matters" — is usually rejected because it doesn't spell out the specific actions the bank or registry needs to see: opening an account, signing incorporation documents, collecting a card.
We confirm the wording before you go to the notary, not after. Once the document is notarized and apostilled, you send us a scan; we check the details, signatures, and apostille placement, and only then do you courier the original — so a missed detail doesn't cost you a second notary appointment on the other side of the world.
One document for several services
If you're opening an account and registering a company in the same trip, one power of attorney can cover both, which saves a second round of notarization, apostille, and international shipping. Courier delivery from the US, UK, or EU to Tbilisi typically takes a few business days with DHL or FedEx.
Get in touch before booking your notary or solicitor appointment. We'll confirm the exact chain for your country and give you the wording for your specific service, at no charge.
This page provides general information. The exact authentication procedure depends on the issuing country, international agreements, and the requirements of the organization receiving the document.
