When this is relevant in India

A Dutch power of attorney may be requested when someone in India needs authority to act on your behalf while you are in the Netherlands or elsewhere abroad.

✓Indian property sale, property purchase, bank account, inheritance, court, company, family, pension, NRI or administrative matters
✓Requests from Indian lawyers, banks, registrars, buyers, companies, courts, family members or public authorities
✓Situations where exact wording, signature, notarisation, apostille, translation or courier delivery matters

Start with the Indian instruction

Indian POA requests often come with specific wording. Before signing or apostilling anything, it helps to check whether the Dutch document format matches what the Indian recipient expects.

✓Check whether the recipient wants a specific POA draft, notarised signature, apostille, translation or original paper document
✓Review whether the document will be used for property, banking, court, family or company purposes
✓Avoid signing a document that later needs to be redone because the wording or authentication route is wrong

How the process works

The exact instruction from the Indian receiving party is usually the best starting point.

1

Share the request

Send the lawyer email, registrar checklist, bank note, authority message, court instruction, employer request or screenshot.

2

Review the route

The document route is reviewed before unnecessary costs are made for the wrong version, translation or apostille step.

3

Confirm handling

Any fee, apostille step, translation step, certified copy handling or courier option is confirmed before work begins.

4

Coordinate next steps

Apostille Assist coordinates the agreed Dutch-side route and keeps communication clear.
