Before you send it
- Name one task and one end date. A narrow authority letter protects you.
- Get the authorised person to sign on the letter. The office compares that signature when it hands over the document.
- Attach a self-attested copy of your identity proof; the other person carries their original.
- Banks and some offices do not accept a plain authority letter for money matters. Ask them what they need.
What to attach
- Self-attested copy of your identity proof
- Identity proof of the authorised person (original to show)
This is a general format, written by us, to save you time. If the office concerned has its own printed form, use that form. Last checked: 11 November 2026.
