BAGHDAD – Despite the regulation requiring a legalised power of attorney (POA) to be filed within six (6) months of the application date, it is recommended to submit at least a notarized copy of the POA at the time of filing. This is to protect the application from being challenged on the basis that it did not comply with the regulations in the event of litigation. In other words, the notarized POA must accompany the application.
It is still possible, however, to submit a fully legalised POA within the six (6) month period.
