The service for signing powers of attorney and notarial deeds at the Consulate General of Italy in London is reserved exclusively for Italian citizens (Legislative Decree 71\/2011<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Foreign nationals (and Italian citizens unable to visit the Consulate) can obtain powers of attorney and notarial deeds valid in Italy from any British notary public; the document must then be apostilled by the Legalisation Office<\/a> (many notaries offer this service as well). A non-exhaustive list of notaries known to this Consulate is available here.<\/a><\/p>\n

A general power of attorney is issued for an indefinite period and remains valid until the death of the principal or the attorney-in-fact, or until revoked.<\/p>\n
