Dear Sir or Madam,

I, Maria Garcia, of 45 Park Road, Manchester (ID no. P1234567), write to authorise Carlos Garcia, my brother, of 7 Elm Grove, Manchester (ID no. P7654321), to act on my behalf for the specific purpose described below.

2.2  This authorization does not cover the following: opening or closing any account, changing my contact details or signing any new contract. It is limited to the matter in paragraph 1.1, it does not include any other transaction, and Carlos Garcia may not delegate it to anyone else.

3. Period

3.1  This authorization is valid until 31 December or until the matter is completed, whichever is earlier. I may withdraw it earlier by written notice to you.

6.1  I may withdraw this authorization at any time by written notice to you. It ends automatically when the matter is completed, when the period in paragraph 3.1 expires, or if I become unable to manage my affairs, and any act done after you have received my written withdrawal does not bind me.

7. Data and records

7.1  Please use the copies of the identity documents only to verify this authorization, keep them securely for the period your own rules require and do not share them for any other purpose. Please give Carlos Garcia only the documents, funds or information that relate to the matter in paragraph 1.1.

FAQ

What is an authorization letter?

A letter in which you give another person permission to act for you in a specific matter, such as collecting documents, picking up a parcel or dealing with a bank. It should name both people, the task and the time period.

Is an authorization letter the same as a power of attorney?

No. An authorization letter usually covers a simple, one-off task. A power of attorney is a formal legal document with wider powers and often needs notarisation. Banks and agencies may have their own forms.

Yes. You can fill it in online and download it as a PDF for free, without installing anything.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Every sentence of the document can be edited on the page before you download it.
