Introducing Live-Authorization for EU Applications
Live-authorization is a digital alternative to paper-based Power of Attorney (POA) verification.
- For EU applications, any applicant who is not a director must provide a POA signed by a director. If the director is based outside the EEA, this POA must be verified by an apostille.
- Live-authorization is completely digital, requires no apostilization, and requires no manual review, accelerating the verification process.
Live-authorization is currently available for EU applications and will be expanded to other regions soon.
For more information, see Letter of Authorization.
