Document background
An Authorization Letter for Signature is essential in situations where an individual needs to delegate their signing authority to another person in the Philippines. This document is commonly used when the principal party is unavailable to personally sign documents, traveling abroad, or needs to delegate signing authority for operational efficiency. It must comply with Philippine legal requirements, including proper notarization and specific content requirements under the Civil Code and Notarial Law. The document typically specifies the scope of authority, duration, and any limitations on the agent's powers. It's particularly relevant in business operations, property transactions, and administrative proceedings where original signatures are required but the principal cannot be physically present.
