POWER OF ATTORNEYS:
If you are outside of Argentina and need to execute a power of attorney to be presented before argentine authorities, you may request a Power of Attorney at your nearest consular offices.
However, if unable to appear in person at the Consulate, you may sign your Power of Attorney before a Notary Public and finalize the process by requesting an Apostille at the Offices of the Secretary of State of the State where Notary is from.-
Once the Apostille has been affixed, you may send your document directly to Argentina.-
“Where can I obtain an Apostille?”
The Consulate may also:
-Extend, register, rectify, revoke, renew and substitute Power of Attorneys.
-Extend deeds about Contracts
-Declarations of Parental Recognition
-Declaration of willingness to Argentine Nationality and issuance of Power of Attorneys to that effect.
-Record of civil and commercial verifications, and registration of those presented to that effect.-
-Receive and register declarations, protests and counter protests formulated by Ship Captains and argentine citizens, in protecting the interests or responsibilities own and others.
-Registration of a handwritten testament, extend and register the testament for public acts, and register those drawn up in another manner.-
-To bestow in general all other acts specified in the legal requirements that regulate the Notary’s Powers.-
General Requirements are as follows:
