To legalise a Power of Attorney document for use in Albania with an apostille in the UK, you would need to follow the steps outlined below:
Draft the Power of Attorney document: Create the Power of Attorney document, ensuring it complies with the requirements and includes all necessary details as per Albanian law. The document should clearly state the powers granted to the agent and be signed by the principal in the presence of witnesses.
Notarise the document: Bring the Power of Attorney document to our licensed Notary Public in London contact us to make an appointment.The notary public will verify the identity of the principal and witnesses, and witness the signing of the document. We will affix their seal or stamp to the document.
Obtain an apostille: Once the Power of Attorney document is notarised, we will obtain an apostille. An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of the notary public's signature and seal. In the UK, the competent authority for issuing apostilles is the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
The apostille takes 48 hours to complete and will be ready for collection in our office or it can be posted anywhere in the UK or DHL abroad. We send you scans to your email of all completed documents
Once the Power of Attorney document has been apostilled and authenticated, it should be recognised as legally valid in Albania. You can then use the document for the authorised purposes outlined in the Power of Attorney.
It's important to note that the process and requirements for document legalisation may vary over time and depend on the specific country's regulations. Therefore, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional or the relevant authorities in the UK and Albania for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

A Consent to Travel Document (UK) is a signed document that grants permission for a child to travel internationally under specific circumstances:
With only one parent: When the child is traveling with one parent, and the other parent is not present.
Without either parent: When the child is traveling with another adult (e.g., a relative, guardian, or teacher) or on their own.
Essentially, this document serves as official permission from the parent(s) who are not accompanying the child, indicating their consent for the child's travel. It's often required to prevent international child abduction and to ensure the child's safety and the legality of their travel.
