How to Get a Power of Attorney Apostilled in Texas

If you're managing property, handling financial matters, or conducting business internationally, you may need to apostille your Power of Attorney (POA). An apostille certifies that your POA is authentic and legally recognized in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Here's how to get your Power of Attorney apostilled in Texas:

Step 1: Have Your Power of Attorney Notarized

Before a Power of Attorney can be apostilled, it must first be notarized by a Texas notary public. The notary will verify your identity and witness your signature on the document. Make sure the notarization includes:

• The notary's signature

• The notary's official seal/stamp

• The notary's commission expiration date

Without proper notarization, the document cannot move forward in the apostille process.

Step 2: Submit It to the Texas Secretary of State

Once notarized, your Power of Attorney must be apostilled by the Texas Secretary of State's office in Austin. This certifies that the notary's signature and seal are genuine. You can:

• Mail your document with the required forms and fees (processing takes 2-3 weeks)

• Visit in person in Austin for same-day service
