Rules for Power of Attorney
The POA must be notarized by a Montana Notary Public
Only original notarized POAs with a proper Montana notarial certificate are accepted.
Photocopies are not allowed
The POA must be an original notarized document to qualify for certification.
Foreign-language POAs require special handling
A notarized English translation is recommended to avoid rejection.
Certified copies should be recent
Copies issued within the last five years are preferred for authentication.
Older POAs may need re-issuance
If the POA is more than five years old, obtaining a new notarized copy is recommended.
Montana only certifies Montana-issued documents
Documents from other states or federal agencies cannot be certified in Montana.
Apostille or certification depends on country of use
Hague countries receive an apostille; non-Hague countries may require additional U.S. State Department or embassy legalization.
Puerto Rico accepts Montana-issued documents
As a U.S. territory, it recognizes Montana public documents under Federal Rule of Evidence 902.
Notaries must comply with Montana notary law
Improper notarization will prevent issuance of the universal certificate for international use.
