Registering a Power of Attorney

Registering online

 

You can register your Power of Attorney (POA) online by completing the online form on our Power of Attorney page  and sending us: 

• Your full POA document or your LPA code (an LPA access code lets you share your Power of Attoreny Online. The code is 13 characters long and starts with the letter V. This service is only for LPA documents registered in Engalnd and Wales.)

• Any supporting documents 

Once we receive your eForm and POA document or LPA code, you’ll get an email from our trusted security partner, Mitek  to allow us to confirm your identity. You’ll need to: 

• Take a selfie 

• Upload photo ID 

• Upload proof of address (if asked) 

Access the online form and guidance on our Power of Attorney page.
