Verified reviews of this service

It is a legal document granted before a notary that authorises one person (the attorney-in-fact) to carry out on your behalf all the procedures necessary to create a company in Spain.

This includes: signing the formation deed, contributing share capital, accepting the articles of association, appointing directors, requesting provisional and definitive tax ID, and registering the company at the Commercial Registry.

With this power, your legal representative can manage the entire formation process without you needing to be physically present at any time.

This power is necessary in various situations:

• You reside abroad: You live outside Spain and cannot attend the notary in person to sign.
• You cannot travel: For health, work, or schedule reasons you cannot attend the notary on the necessary dates.
• You prefer to delegate: You want a lawyer or specialised adviser to manage the entire formation process.
• Multiple shareholders geographically dispersed: The shareholders are in different locations and cannot coincide in person.

The power must include the following specific powers:

• Sign the public deed of company formation
• Contribute share capital on behalf of the grantor
• Accept and approve the articles of association
• Appoint or accept appointment of directors
• Request provisional and definitive company tax ID
• Register the company at the Commercial Registry
• Perform any complementary act necessary for formation

Our powers automatically include all these powers drafted according to current legal requirements.

Yes, absolutely. With Notario.org you can grant your power of attorney for forming companies 100% digitally without leaving home.

The process is conducted via video conference with an authorised registered Spanish notary, who will verify your identity, explain the document's contents, and authorise your electronic signature.

The power granted online has exactly the same legal validity as one signed in person at a traditional notary office. It is completely valid for forming companies and registering them at the Commercial Registry.

Yes, this service is specially designed for residents abroad who want to form a company in Spain.

You can grant the power with:

• Spanish ID (if you are Spanish residing abroad)
• Spanish NIE (if you already have one)
• Passport of any nationality

It doesn't matter which country you currently reside in. The identification and signature process is conducted completely online via video conference with the notary.

The complete process is usually completed in 24-48 hours:

• Documentation submission: 5 minutes
• Power drafting: 4-6 business hours
• Notarial video conference: Scheduled according to your availability (usually within 24h)
• Signature and delivery: The same day as the video conference

You will receive the document in digital PDF format with qualified electronic signature, ready to be used immediately by your attorney-in-fact for company formation.

The power's validity depends on how it is drafted:

• Power with fixed term: An expiry date can be set (recommended: 6-12 months from granting)
• Power until purpose fulfilled: Valid until company formation and registration is completed
• Indefinite power: No expiry date, valid until expressly revoked

We recommend setting a specific term and, once company formation is completed, formally revoking the power to prevent the attorney-in-fact from continuing to act on your behalf.

Yes, you can revoke the power of attorney at any time through a revocation deed granted before a notary.

It is advisable to revoke the power once:

• Company formation has been completed
• The company is registered at the Commercial Registry
• You no longer need the attorney-in-fact to act on your behalf
• You change legal representative

Revocation can also be done online through Notario.org using the same notarial video conference process.
