Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney

The person who gives power of attorney must be legally capable of doing so, i.e. to be sound of mind and of legal age (over 18 years old). Those who wish to give power of attorney must do it in person, in the presence of the Consular officer, providing at the same time documents which establish beyond any doubt their identity (name, surname, place and date of birth, name of the father and mother).
The full name (father's and mother's included) of the proxy (the person to whom the power of attorney is given) shall also be provided at the time that any Act of power of attorney is to be drawn up and signed.
If the power of attorney is for a specific case, the appropriate draft text from a notary public or a lawyer in Greece should be submitted to the Consulate either by fax or by e-mail.
If the person who will sign the power of attorney does not speak Greek at all, then an interpreter (from Greek to Swedish) is required. The interpreter will translate the document for the benefit of the person who gives the power of attorney and he/she will also sign it as interpreter.

Necessary documents:
1) Greek or Swedish National Identity Card or valid Passport (Greek or Swedish).
2) The exact particulars of the assignee, such us name, surname, father’s name, mother’s name, occupation, address and if possible the Greek ID number, date and place of issue.
3) Exact specifications of the power of attorney (buying, selling, making or receiving payments, etc.) This document should be drawn up by an attorney or a notary public.
