Guide to Issuing an Online Power of Attorney in Georgia

An online power of attorney in Georgia is a convenient way to authorize another person to represent your interests in various legal matters. These may include purchasing real estate, registering as an individual entrepreneur or company, or opening a bank account.
Since January 2024, the law firm Rokhvadze & Partners, in collaboration with European notaries, has been assisting with the preparation of notarized documents for use both in Georgia and abroad.
In this article, part of Rokhvadze & Partners Insights, we will explain how to create a power of attorney online via Notarity at https://notarity.com/en/booking/rokhvadze-partners/.
