Step-by-Step Procedure to Execute a Power of Attorney in Qatar
Step 1: Draft the Power of Attorney
Begin by preparing the POA document in an editable format.
The draft should clearly include:
- Full name, passport number, and address of both the Principal (you) and the Attorney (your representative in India)
- Complete property details (schedule, survey number, e-Khata number, if applicable)
- Specific powers being granted, such as:
- Signing sale deed
- Appearing before the Sub-Registrar
- Handling bank or loan-related documentation
Step 2: Print the POA Document
- Print the finalized draft on plain A4 paper (80 GSM or higher recommended)
- Stamp paper is not required in Qatar, as stamping will be done later during adjudication in India
Step 3: Affix Photograph
- Attach a recent passport-size photograph to the document
- This strengthens identity verification and reduces the risk of misuse
Step 4: Notarization / Embassy Attestation in Qatar
This is a critical step to make the POA valid for use in India.
You must sign the document in the presence of either:
- A registered Notary Public in Qatar, or
- The Indian Embassy / Consulate in Doha
The official will:
- Verify your identity (Passport and QID)
- Attest your signature
Once attested, the POA becomes a legally recognized foreign document
Step 5: Courier the Attested POA to India
Send the original attested document to your Attorney in India using a reliable courier service such as:
- DHL
- FedEx
- Aramex
Ensure:
- All pages are included
- The document is securely packed
Step 6: Adjudication of POA in India
After receiving the document, your Attorney must submit it to the jurisdictional District Registrar Office (DRO) where the property is located.
Documents Required:
- Original attested POA
- One photocopy of the POA
- Request letter addressed to the District Registrar
- Identity proof of Principal and Attorney (Aadhaar / Passport / PAN)
- Proof of relationship (if applicable – for concessional stamp duty)
- Stamp duty challan as per applicable state rules
Step 7: Adjudication and Legal Validation
- The Registrar verifies the document and supporting records
- Upon approval, the POA is adjudicated and stamped
Once completed, your Attorney is legally authorized to:
- Register sale deeds
- Sign agreements
- Represent you before Sub-Registrar offices, banks, and authorities
