Authorization Letter
The document updates as you type
Lawyer's note. A simple authorization letter works for routine transactions (claiming IDs, documents, parcels, government offices). Agencies typically require photocopies of valid IDs of both the authorizing person and the representative — some require the authorizer's ID to bear a signature matching the letter.
How to use this document correctly
- Be specific about the task and the office — “claim my NBI clearance at NBI Quezon City” beats “transact on my behalf”.
- Attach photocopies of one valid government ID each, signed by the owners.
Frequently asked questions
Does an authorization letter need to be notarized?
For most routine transactions, no. Some agencies and banks require a notarized authorization or a Special Power of Attorney — check the specific office's rules first.
How long is it valid?
Until the stated task is done or the date you indicate. Adding an expiry date is good practice.
