Power of attorney

Notarize a power of attorney for Rwanda online

Lire en français

A power of attorney lets someone you trust act in your name in Rwanda, for example to manage property, sign contracts, or follow up with an administration. If you are abroad, signing one used to mean an embassy appointment or a flight home.

With eNotaryRW you sign it online before a licensed Rwandan notary. You upload the document, sign in a recorded video session, and in most cases receive your certified PDF the same day.

Common uses

Managing or selling property, following up on files with public offices, banking matters, company business, and family affairs where a relative in Rwanda needs to act while you are away.

How it works

Upload your power of attorney as a PDF and invite anyone else who must sign. Each signer joins a recorded session, shows their identity document on camera, and signs. The notary witnesses the signatures and certifies the document with the official stamp, a registry number, and a verification code.

What you receive

A certified PDF you can send to the person acting for you in Rwanda the same day. Any office they present it to can verify it online with the code on the document.

Common questions

Can I give a power of attorney while living abroad?

Yes. You sign online before a licensed Rwandan notary from wherever you are, and the certified document is delivered to you as a PDF.

Does the person receiving the power need to join the session?

Only the people who must sign the document join. If your document requires both parties to sign, each signs in turn and the notary witnesses all of them.

Can I limit what the power covers?

Yes. The document you upload defines exactly what powers you give and for how long. The notary witnesses your signature on that text.

How do offices in Rwanda check it is genuine?

Every certified document carries a registry number and a verification code. Anyone can enter the code on our verification page and see the authentic record.
