Two ways to make a power of attorney for Kazakhstan
The correct route depends on eligibility, location and what the recipient in Kazakhstan will accept.
- Consular notarization may avoid a separate U.S. apostille and translation route.
- A U.S.-notarized document usually needs the correct state apostille and translation.
- Confirm the wording with the receiving notary, bank or agency before signing.
