Power of attorney, notarized and state-sealed in one order.
A POA headed abroad needs two things: a proper Texas notarization and the state’s apostille on it. We are commissioned notaries and the hand-delivery team — both steps, one handoff.
The notarization IS the document the state seals.
For a power of attorney, the apostille authenticates the notary’s signature and seal. That makes the notarization step everything — a defective acknowledgment means a rejected or useless document on the other end. Our team notarizes POAs for a living: at your kitchen table in the Austin metro, or reviewing your already-notarized POA before it ships from anywhere in Texas.
What crosses our desk weekly: property purchases and sales in Mexico and Latin America, parents authorizing family in India or Nigeria to handle affairs, business signing authority for overseas deals, and elder-care arrangements spanning borders. Your attorney or the receiving country drafts the content; we make the execution and sealing bulletproof.
