German law does not generally apply to powers of attorney used abroad. The law of the country in which the power of attorney is to be exercised (so-called effect and form statute) regulates the details to be included in the power of attorney, how it must be structured and in particular the form of the power of attorney. However, if special formal requirements exist, such as notarisation or certification of the power of attorney, these can also be provided before a German notary. It is even possible for a German notary to certify a power of attorney in the respective foreign language so that it can be used directly abroad. Under certain circumstances, an apostille or legalization must still be taught for recognition.
