Just this week, we had an interesting experience with a client who needed an apostille for their power of attorney. Their full legal name included four surnames and three middle names – a total of eight names! While we successfully completed the notarization and apostille, we wanted to share this experience to help future clients with similar situations.
🤔 The Situation: Our client needed their power of attorney notarized and apostilled for use in Spain. Their name included: • Two family surnames • Two married surnames • Three middle names • Different name orders on various IDs
⚠️ The Challenge: The document needed to match exactly how their name appeared on their Spanish passport, which differed from their California driver’s license. This required additional time for proper document preparation and verification.
💡 What We Learned (And Want to Share): If you have multiple or lengthy names, please: • Let us know in advance when scheduling • Mention if you need the document apostilled • Tell us which country the document is for • Inform us about any specific name ordering requirements • Have all your IDs and supporting documents ready
