Verified reviews of this service

It is a document in which you authorize a lawyer and court representative to legally represent you in a court proceeding before Spanish courts. Without this power, your representative cannot act on your behalf before the court.

It is mandatory when you need legal representation in civil, criminal, labor, or administrative court proceedings. Only in some very specific cases (small claims of minimal amounts) can you defend yourself personally without a lawyer.

Yes, currently you can do it 100% online via video call with an authorized Spanish notary, with digital signature and remote verification. It has the same legal validity as a power granted in person.

It is generally granted to a lawyer and a court representative, who will be your legal representatives in court. The notary can include both professionals' data directly in the document.

The power has indefinite validity until you decide to revoke it. You can cancel it at any time through a new notarial revocation document.

In less than 24 business hours from when you send your documentation. Once signed in the video call, you receive it immediately in digital format and it can be presented in court that same day.

No, you can do it from any country in the world. You only need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera, and your valid identity document (DNI, NIE, or passport).

You need:

• Copy of your valid DNI, NIE, or passport
• Complete data of your lawyer and/or court representative (full name, DNI, bar registration number)
• Brief description of the lawsuit or court proceeding
• Digital certificate for electronic signature (we help you obtain one if you don't have it)

Yes, it has exactly the same legal validity. The notary-certified electronic signature is legally recognized and accepted by all courts and tribunals in Spain without exception.

Yes, the notary can include special powers such as settling (reaching agreements), withdrawing from the action, accepting claims, or submitting the case to arbitration. You just need to indicate it when requesting the power.
