In cases where the persons are parents, children or spouse of the applicant, they can certify their status as legal representatives with a document certifying their civil status (birth certificate, certificate of family relationship).
Lawyers can certify their status as representatives with a power of attorney or a written power of attorney from citizens, for which no notary certification is required.
When the representatives are organizations (within the meaning of § 1, item 2 of the Administrative Procedure Code), the citizens are represented by a written power of attorney with a notary certification of the signature. When submitting an application, organizations are represented by:
- Representatives by law (with a copy of the certificate of current status);
- person authorized by a legal representative, with a written power of attorney with a notary certification of the signature (with a copy of a certificate of good standing).
If the name on the diploma is different from the name on the identity document, a document certifying the identity of the names must also be attached.
The power of attorney is valid only in original.
Upon re-authorization, the power of attorney's authorization must explicitly state "TO RE-AUTHORIZE" or similar text.
