Power of Attorney

Afghan nationals residing in Germany can obtain a Power of Attorney (Wakalatnama / وکالت خط) at this Consulate General. This document authorizes another person to act on your behalf in legal, property, family, or other matters in Afghanistan or other countries.

What is a Power of Attorney?:
A Power of Attorney (Wakalatnama) is an official legal document by which a person (the client) authorizes another person (the attorney) to carry out specific legal transactions on their behalf. The attorney can be granted authority for matters such as property sales, inheritance proceedings, marriage registration, legal representation in court, financial management, and other legal affairs. The scope of the attorney's authority must be clearly defined in the document.

The applicant, along with two witnesses who are adult Afghan citizens, must visit the Consulate General in person. This document cannot be processed via post or online.
