Notarize a General Power of Attorney Online
A General Power of Attorney authorizes someone to manage your affairs broadly: administering property, collecting rents and debts, dealing with banks, and handling routine transactions. Unlike a Special Power of Attorney, it covers acts of administration in general rather than one specific transaction.
When you need a GPA instead of an SPA
Choose a GPA when a trusted person will manage your affairs on an ongoing basis, such as an OFW leaving a parent in charge of properties and collections. Note that acts of strict dominion, such as selling land, still require a Special Power of Attorney even if you hold a GPA.
What you need
- The GPA in PDF naming your attorney-in-fact and the scope of authority
- Your valid government-issued ID
- A camera-equipped device for the video session
How the online session works
- Upload your document. Send us your document as a PDF. No PDF yet? We will help you convert or find the right template.
- Verify your identity. Present one valid government ID during a secure video session, as required by the Rules on Electronic Notarization.
- Appear and sign on video. A commissioned electronic notary public confirms you understand the document and witnesses your electronic signature.
- Receive your notarized document. You get the electronically notarized PDF, recorded in the notary's electronic notarial register.
