Appointment booking. We have previously explained the nuances of the appointment booking process in a relevant article, the difference being that you need to select consular services and then "Notary Services" afterwards.

After you have booked a specific date or joined the waiting list, but no later than three days before the planned appointment, send all necessary documents (power of attorney text and scans required for notarial action) to the email [email protected]. A reminder from the consulate will also be sent to you.

On the appointed date, attend the appointment with a set of documents similar to what you previously sent via email. The documents are needed for presentation and to prove that the power of attorney is being issued on your behalf.
