Documents that may require to be notarized:

Power of Attorney / Engagement Letter / Letter of Authorization

For example, when a foreigner invests in Taiwan, he entrusts an investment agent to apply for a POA for investment license, a letter of authorization for entrusting a foreign manufacturer to handle distribution business, and a letter of authorization for entrusting relatives and friends to handle banking and property-related affairs abroad.

Commercial documents

For example, for trademark authorization, both parties have reached an agreement by telephone, fax or email, and the contract conditions have been negotiated, but for some reason they cannot sign a written contract at the same time. The notary confirms that the signature is indeed made by the person in order to achieve the purpose of signing a written contract.
