How to properly issue a power of attorney

A power of attorney is a written document that is drawn up by an individual for third parties to perform actions on his behalf. A striking example is a power of attorney to receive mail or parcels. A power of attorney is drawn up using a simple form and is approved solely by the signature of the principal.

The application must contain:

  • date of discharge;
  • place of discharge (address, locality);
  • information about the principal. In this column you should indicate your full name, place of registration, passport details;
  • information about the authorized person. The authorized person must have legal capacity and be over 18 years of age. The data needed is similar;
  • the application must clearly state that the person is not against the person receiving your parcel, letter, etc.;
  • address and name of the post office;
  • validity period of the power of attorney;
  • signature of the principal. Without it, the document will be considered invalid.

Note! If you do not specify a specific validity period, then the standard one will be set, namely 12 months.

What is a power of attorney for Russian Post

A power of attorney is a document giving the right to receive letters and various parcels at post offices to third parties. The power of attorney is drawn up by the original recipient of the parcel in a simple form, where he indicates all his data, as well as the data of the authorized person. The power of attorney has a certain expiration date, which is indicated by the principal.

If this point was ignored, the standard period is set at 12 months.

Do not forget about the signature of the principal, without which the document will be invalid.

The parties to the agreement are two people, namely the principal and the trustee. The document is useful when the recipient is unable to pick up the parcel, for example, due to health reasons or due to departure.

In such cases, a power of attorney is issued to relatives or friends so that the parcel does not go back to the sender, because the maximum period for storing a parcel at the post office is 30 calendar days.

What rights does it give

It depends directly on the principal, because he draws up a list of rights available to the authorized person. Almost every authorized person has the right to pick up parcels and sign on the corresponding postal documents.

After going to the post office to pick up the parcel, the authorized person automatically receives the following options:

  • pick up and send the parcel;
  • refuse the parcel;
  • write a complaint about the poor quality of the services provided, if the situation so requires;
  • receive various financial transfers;
  • sign the postal documentation.

Who can I apply for?

Perhaps the only criterion is age of majority and citizenship of the Russian Federation. Every adult citizen has the right to issue a power of attorney for another adult, whether he is a friend, relative, acquaintance or the first person he meets on the street. There are no restrictions as such, but it is not recommended to register for unfamiliar individuals.

Note! A power of attorney can be issued to several people at once; the rights are chosen by the principal. The deadline is also chosen by the principal if he does not want to receive the standard figure (12 months).

Types of document

Each type has its own list of rights and opportunities.

There are two types of documents:

  • one-time – for one-time receipt of a parcel at the post office;
  • general – for repeated receipt of parcels, more rights and opportunities.

Rules for registration and certification

Of course, there are a number of rules that must be followed when drawing up a document.

Notarized power of attorney

The power of attorney includes a list of rights. The authorized representative has the right to receive letters, parcels, and funds. It is executed exclusively by a notary. To draw up the document, you need to have your passport and the passport of the person for whom the power of attorney will be issued. The notary himself will finalize and correctly draw up the document, but will require a fee for this.

Certification by mail

The ability to certify a power of attorney is provided at each post office. A notary is not required to draw up such a document. Use a single form, fill out a simple form, and then contact the post office. At the post office, ask the staff for help in certifying the document. Take your passport with you.

A power of attorney certified by the post office allows you to receive any items except money.

The procedure is absolutely free, employees have no right to demand money! You can also issue a power of attorney to receive a parcel at China Post. The service is provided specifically for users of the aliexpress online store.

Power of attorney to receive mail, certified by the organization in which the principal works, studies or is undergoing treatment

This is a unique type of power of attorney, because under certain circumstances the principal can issue a power of attorney to the teachers of the educational institution in which he receives his education, to the administration of the organization for which he works, or even to the attending physician who serves him in the hospital.

Attention! Our qualified lawyers will assist you free of charge and around the clock on any issues.

The power of attorney is drawn up in the same simple form, after which it is handed over to the head of the organization (school, university, hospital, etc.) to certify the signature. It is not always possible to reach the head of the organization.

Because of this, they prefer to contact a local lawyer, relying on paragraph 3 of Article 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. A lawyer will always tell you and show you how to fill out an application correctly without violating the rules, including the internal rules of the organization.

The document certification service is free.

If the power of attorney is not certified, the authorized person has the right to:

  • receiving letters and parcels, telegrams and parcels;
  • receiving shipments that are not declared valuable.

Remember! Without certification, it is impossible to receive financial resources, be it a pension benefit or a simple transfer of money by post.

Validity

The validity period of the power of attorney is indicated by the principal on the document. If the period is not specified, the power of attorney is accepted and is not limited in any way, and the validity period will be set to standard (12 months). The peculiarity is stated in Article 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Let's look at what documents an organization needs to prepare in order to freely receive postal correspondence arriving at its address at post offices.

In an organization, the responsibility for sending and receiving postal correspondence may be assigned to a certain employee, which should be reflected in his job description. In micro-companies, correspondence is often received by the manager himself.

Relations in the field of postal services are regulated by a number of legal acts, the main of which is Federal Law No. 176-FZ of July 17, 1999 “On Postal Services”. Article 4 of the said Federal Law establishes that the procedure for the provision of postal services is regulated by the rules for the provision of postal services, approved by the federal executive body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation. In pursuance of clause 4 of the Federal Law, by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 15, 2005 No. 221, Rules for the provision of postal services .

Postal items, telegraphic and other messages are secret communications and can only be issued to senders (addressees) or their representatives (in accordance with Article 15 of the Federal Law). At the same time, the Federal Law does not provide a definition of the concept of “representative”. Detailed definitions of concepts are contained in the Rules, dividing postal items into the following categories:

  • simple- received from the sender without issuing a receipt to him and delivered (handed over) to the addressee (his legal representative) without his receipt of receipt;
  • registered(registered, declared value, ordinary) - accepted from the sender with the issuance of a receipt and handed over to the addressee (his legal representative) with his receipt of receipt.

The characteristics of both categories of postal items contain concept of "legal representative". In civil law, a legal representative is understood as a person who has the right by force of law (without a power of attorney) to act on behalf of the represented person. However, paragraph 2 of the Rules contains a different definition of a legal representative: legal representatives are persons who have a power of attorney executed in the prescribed manner.

Introducing some confusion with this definition into the concepts enshrined in civil legislation, the Rules determine that in order to receive correspondence coming to an organization, a representative of the organization must have a power of attorney, and executed in the prescribed manner. The procedure for issuing powers of attorney is defined in Chapter 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and was discussed in detail by us in the previous issue of the magazine.

Features of issuing a power of attorney by mail

As design nuances power of attorney by mail, the following must be noted:

  • it seems that in this power of attorney it is advisable to indicate the most complete information about both the represented organization and the representative,
  • draw up a power of attorney on the organization’s letterhead, and
  • affix the organization's seal.

Practice shows that failure to affix a seal or incomplete indication of a representative’s data can cause misunderstanding on the part of postal workers and, as a result, a refusal to issue correspondence under such a power of attorney. Despite the fact that a power of attorney, executed in full compliance with the requirements of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, but not containing the above details, is valid and must be accepted by communications workers, the company will have to prove its case, perhaps even in court, which, of course, is not in its interests.

In a power of attorney along with powers a representative to receive and send postal correspondence may include the following additional rights:

  • the right to refuse mail received by the organization by making a note about this on the mail or notice (clause 45 of the Rules);
  • the right, for an additional fee, to make an order (in writing) about the dispatch or delivery to another address of postal items received in the name of the organization (clause 46 of the Rules);
  • the right to file claims against the postal operator in the event of non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of obligations to provide postal services, including a claim for compensation for damage (clause 53 of the Rules).

Of course, it is advisable to provide these additional rights to an employee who clearly understands the consequences of refusing to receive correspondence or forwarding correspondence.

What do postal employees want from an organization?

Post offices, guided, in particular, by the provisions of the Postal Rules approved by the Council of Heads of Communications Administrations of the Regional Commonwealth in the field of communications and put into effect by Order of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation dated November 14, 1992 No. 416 from January 1, 1993, as well as internal instructions of the Russian Post, offer several interaction options with organizations for receiving correspondence by representatives on the basis of a power of attorney:

  • presentation of a one-time power of attorney to receive a postal item, which indicates which particular postal item is entrusted to be received (the power of attorney remains at the post office and is attached to the notice for the issued item);
  • execution of a so-called long-term power of attorney, which is kept in the post office and for which storage a fee is charged;
  • issuance of postal correspondence under a general power of attorney to conduct business (the power of attorney remains with the representative, and the post office is asked to provide a copy of such a power of attorney).

Despite the fact that all post offices must be guided by the same standards in their work, in practice, different post offices may use different methods of issuing correspondence to representatives by proxy. So, in some post offices they require you to leave a power of attorney at the post office upon receipt of each item, in others it is recommended to work under long-term powers of attorney kept at the post office, in others, correspondence is handed out to the representative without any problems upon presentation of the power of attorney and the power of attorney itself is not taken away.

It should be noted that requirements of postal workers regarding leaving the original or copy of the power of attorney at the post office when receiving correspondence were disputed in the antimonopoly authority and in court.

Arbitration practice

The organization appealed to the Federal Antimonopoly Service the actions of postal workers in requesting a power of attorney or a copy thereof to be attached to a notice as violating the provisions of the antimonopoly legislation. The representative of the organization refused to leave the power of attorney at the post office or provide a copy of it, and for this reason the post office workers did not give him the correspondence. The actions of the Russian Post branch were found to violate the provisions of the Federal Law “On Competition”.

Thus, if postal workers require the transfer of the original (or copy) of the power of attorney to be attached to the notice, the representative has the right to refuse this. However, one must be prepared for possible further proof of one’s innocence, right up to trial.

In Example 1 we showed a variant of the power of attorney provided to perform a series of similar actions, - sending and receiving postal correspondence (special power of attorney), which the authorized person presents to communication workers upon receipt of correspondence.

When going to the post office for correspondence, a representative of the organization should not forget to take with him a passport or other identification document.

Surely many readers have encountered cases where when postal workers requested a power of attorney for a representative containing a number of additional conditions. As a rule, they draw these additional conditions from the Postal Regulations 1992. Thus, referring to paragraph 100 of the Postal Rules, communication workers can request:

  • a power of attorney from the organization, signed in addition to the head by the chief accountant, or
  • request a power of attorney to receive registered mail by the head of the company;
  • It is also possible to request a power of attorney issued by a higher organization in the case where one person works in the institution.

Such additional requests cannot be accepted. Let's repeat, The 1992 Rules are valid to the extent that they do not contradict the Rules for the provision of postal services, which establish that the legal representative of the addressee acts on the basis of a power of attorney executed in the prescribed manner, that is, in the manner determined by Chapter 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Thus, paragraph 4 of Article 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that a power of attorney on behalf of the organization is signed by the head. The signature of the chief accountant on the power of attorney is not included by the Civil Code among the mandatory attributes of this document.

If correspondence is received by the manager himself, a power of attorney is not required, since by virtue of the law the head of a legal entity acts on his behalf without a power of attorney.

Since the manager is a representative of the company by force of law and acts on behalf of the company without a power of attorney, when receiving correspondence it is enough for him to present to the postal operator as confirmation of his powers as the sole executive body of the company:

  • certified copies of: the founder’s decision (minutes of the general meeting of participants or shareholders) on the election (appointment) of the head of the company to the position; order to take office;
  • identification document;
  • It is still possible to present to the telecom operator an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities containing data on the sole executive body of the company.

However, many organizations, in order not to argue with harsh postal workers, issue a power of attorney to receive correspondence from the manager, certified by his own signature. Such a document is somewhat absurd, since the head of the company, due to the provisions of the current legislation, does not need to confirm his authority with a power of attorney (and even “confirms himself”), but it is effective if the company does not intend to enter into disputes with the post office and wants to have no problems receive correspondence addressed to her through the director. This is especially true in micro companies.

The requirement to provide a power of attorney for the head of an institution issued by a higher organization also does not find its justification in the provisions of the current legislation.

In cases where postal workers insist on including any additional requirements in the power of attorney for a representative than those provided for by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, require written reasons for refusal to accept the submitted power of attorney, contact the head of the post office to resolve the problem, and if refused, contact a higher authority.

But keep in mind: in practice, a situation may arise when, due to disagreements with postal employees regarding the form and content of the power of attorney, important correspondence will be returned to the sender after the expiration of the storage period. This is especially true in relation to judicial correspondence stored at the post office for no more than 7 days. In these cases, the organization has to make concessions and provide a power of attorney in accordance with the requirements of postal workers. To avoid such problematic issues, the company should agree in advance with the post office on the procedure for interaction when its representative receives correspondence, the form and content of powers of attorney to receive correspondence, which will suit both the post office and the recipient company, and if there are disagreements, resolve them in a timely manner.

Certificate of power of attorney to the post office at the citizen’s place of work

An organization may also be faced with the question of how to correctly certify the power of attorney for mail requested by its employee in accordance with clause 3 of Art. 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to the specified point power of attorney to receive correspondence addressed to a citizen, with the exception of valuable, can be certified by the organization in which the principal works. Such a power of attorney is certified free of charge. So that the representative can receive valuable correspondence, addressed to an individual, the power of attorney must be notarized. The head of the communications department can also certify such a power of attorney.

Power of attorney executed in accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, refers to special powers of attorney, on the basis of which the representative has the right to carry out an unlimited number of similar transactions or actions. It must contain the following details and information:

  • place and date of commission,
  • data of the principal (employee of the organization),
  • representative details,
  • powers of the representative, namely the right to receive correspondence by mail,
  • validity period of the power of attorney (if the period is not specified, the power of attorney will be valid for 1 year),
  • information about the certifying person.

Now many people receive parcels, parcels and letters (items) at Russian Post offices (the official name of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Russian Post”). According to postal rules, only the person to whose name it is addressed (addressee) or his representative has the right to pick up correspondence. The right to receive any registered shipment (that is, with a track number) can be entrusted to another person if you issue him a power of attorney to receive it at Russian Post.

Let's first understand why another person cannot receive correspondence without written proof of authority. Issuing a package to an unauthorized person is a gross violation of postal rules, and a communications worker who commits such a violation can be seriously punished and fined. Transferring a letter to a stranger will lead to the disclosure of the secret of correspondence, and handing over the parcel will lead to property damage. Therefore, post offices require the issuance of items to “non-addressees” only after verification of credentials. The rule on the need to verify a document with powers also applies to spouses and close relatives living with the recipient.

Rules for issuing items

The post office delivers different items and for each of them there are certain requirements for a power of attorney:

  • Simple shipments(letters, simple parcels, postcards) do not have a track number and are delivered to the recipient's mailbox. To receive such shipments, no document with authority is required.
  • Registered shipments(registered letters, registered parcels) have a unique track number. They are received personally by the addressee or his authorized representative. You can receive registered mail using a power of attorney certified by a postal employee or certified at the place of work, study or treatment, or certified by a notary.
  • Valuable items(valuable letters, valuable parcels and parcels with declared value) also have a track number. They are delivered personally to the recipient or his representative. Valuable correspondence can be collected using a power of attorney certified by the post office or certified by a notary.
  • Money transfers, benefits, subsidies, pensions, monthly payments and compensations Only a representative has the right to receive it for the addressee under a power of attorney executed by a notary.

For ease of perception, information on the possibility of receiving various types of items using different forms of powers of attorney is summarized in the table:

Rules for execution and certification of powers of attorney

Let's take a closer look at how to make a power of attorney to receive mail:

- notarized power of attorney. May contain the maximum possible authority to receive any letters, parcels and funds. To register, the principal must contact a notary with his passport and passport details of the authorized person. The notary will independently prepare a draft document based on the data received from the principal. The notary will charge a fee for registration services.

- power of attorney certified by the post office. Allows you to receive any items except money. You can draw up such a document yourself in a simple form () based on the sample filling. After filling out the form, you will need to take it to the post office and ask the employee to certify it. You must have your passport with you. The possibility of certifying a power of attorney directly at the post office is provided for in the Operating Instructions, which is an internal document of the Russian Post. This service is provided free of charge. In this order, you can issue a power of attorney to receive a parcel by mail from China from the aliexpress website (ru.aliexpress.com).

Sample filling:

When a citizen requests to certify a power of attorney, a post office employee must act in the following order. Before the provision of certification services, the head (or deputy) of the post office checks the principal's passport. After this, he performs the following actions: checks the correctness of filling out the document form, makes the inscription “Verified his identity” on the power of attorney, enters his position, surname, first name and patronymic, signs and stamps the calendar stamp of the post office. When submitting such a power of attorney to the department in which it was issued, the authorized person can receive all postal items without exception (except for pensions and money transfers).

Power of attorney to receive mail, certified by the organization in which the principal works, studies or is undergoing treatment. To prepare such a document, an employee can contact his employer, a student can contact the administration of an educational institution, and a patient undergoing inpatient treatment has the right to contact the administration of a medical institution (hospital). The power of attorney is drawn up in a simple form (), after which it is transferred to the head of the organization to certify the signature. Considering that it may not be easy to get to the head of the organization for a personal meeting, it is advisable to first contact the organization’s lawyer with the prepared project with a request to certify it in the manner prescribed by paragraph 3 of Article 185.1. Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The lawyer will tell you how to sign a document with the head of the organization and help you comply with the internal rules of the organization. The certification service must be provided free of charge.

Sample design:

A power of attorney to receive a parcel by mail or letter can be issued for any period. If certification is required, then you need to be prepared that the principal will have to sign the document in the presence of an official (the head of the employer, educational or medical institution, notary, postal employee).

Directly at the branch, the representative will need to present his passport and power of attorney to receive a parcel by mail or other type of shipment. The law does not require leaving the original or a copy of the power of attorney with the communications organization, but employees often make such a requirement. Therefore, in order to save your time and nerves, it is better to have a copy with you.

Power of attorney to receive mail from a legal entity

A power of attorney from an organization can be drawn up in the usual form and does not require certification. Such a document is signed by the head of the recipient’s organization and can be issued to any adult citizen, even if he is not an employee of the company. Authority may be granted to one or more representatives. Using such a document, you can receive any correspondence and parcels arriving at the recipient’s organization. It is recommended to put the organization's seal on the signed form. The design rules are described in detail.

If there is no power of attorney to receive mail, this makes it impossible to receive correspondence addressed to another person. After all, based on the Federal Law “On Postal Services”, all postal items and messages are protected by secret communications, which is guaranteed by the state. Such messages can only be issued to senders and their addressees or their representatives.

Written authority on behalf of another citizen to receive correspondence is formalized by a power of attorney to receive mail. The example and recommendations below will help you draw up and certify such a document yourself. To receive pension payments by mail, use the example. To receive mail on behalf of an organization, you can additionally review the recommendations regarding.

How to draw up a power of attorney to receive mail

A power of attorney to receive postal correspondence on behalf of an individual is drawn up in writing on paper. Be sure to indicate the date the document was drawn up, otherwise such a document will not have legal force. It is advisable to indicate the place of compilation, as well as data that allows you to identify the principal and the authorized person: full name, date of birth, passport details, registration address at the place of residence, powers, signature of the principal. When presenting a power of attorney to receive mail, the person to whom the power of attorney was issued must provide a passport.

On behalf of minors and citizens recognized by the court, powers of attorney to receive mail are issued by their legal representatives.

A power of attorney to receive mail on behalf of an organization is drawn up according to similar requirements. The person who acts on behalf of the organization as an executive body (usually a director acting on the basis of the Charter) must trust the receipt of correspondence. Such a power of attorney is issued on the organization’s letterhead containing the TIN and legal address.

The scope of the powers granted depends on the discretion of the principal and should be clearly indicated in the power of attorney. If you require one-time receipt of mail, it is advisable to explicitly indicate what kind of correspondence the other person is receiving.

Certificate of power of attorney to receive mail

Just like a written authority to receive mail, it can be certified by the organization where the person issuing the power of attorney studies or works, as well as by the administration of a hospital-type medical institution. Moreover, such a service is provided free of charge, which is directly provided for by the Civil Code. In addition, a power of attorney to receive mail can be presented personally by the principal directly to his boss at the post office.

A power of attorney to receive valuable correspondence must be certified by a notary.

Postal workers may require that the original power of attorney to receive mail be given to them. Such a requirement is illegal and may result in a lawsuit for compensation for damages caused.

A power of attorney to receive mail from an individual to an individual is a document that authorizes one person to perform acts for another by consent.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for the execution of some powers of attorney by a notary; among them there is no power of attorney to receive parcels and letters.

However, to receive particularly valuable postal items, a document certified by a notary is required.

Types of document

Powers of attorney to receive mail are issued by legal entities and individuals, individual entrepreneurs in cases where the recipient cannot pick up the parcel due to heavy employment (directors of enterprises, individual entrepreneurs), for health reasons or for any objective reasons.

There are three types of powers of attorney:

  1. One-time – one-time permission to receive correspondence.
  2. Special – gives the right to a specific person to receive mail from the entire enterprise.
  3. General - gives extensive powers in receiving shipments and in carrying out other instructions.

Correctness of design


A power of attorney is correctly drawn up in writing on a form that is issued free of charge and contains:

  1. Document's name.
  2. Indication of the date of transfer of rights (the absence of a date on the transfer of powers form automatically (according to Article 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) makes the document invalid).
  3. Personal data, date of birth, passport number, date and place of issue, place of residence according to the registration of both those drawing up the power of attorney.

It is important to know: The duration of the document's validity may or may not be indicated. According to Article 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, all powers of attorney issued without a validity period mark are valid for a year.

Features of issuing a power of attorney

  1. When receiving mail for a minor or incompetent person, permission is issued by the citizen's parents or guardians.
  2. Individuals make a power of attorney or enter into an agreement with each other (Article 185, Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), according to the latter, one party provides the other with representation services and can pick up parcels. Therefore, there is no need to additionally formalize the transfer of rights to receive mail. Samples of the agreement are kept by both parties.
  3. A document can be issued simultaneously to several persons, but then the powers granted to each specific recipient must be indicated.

Nuances of receiving mail

When receiving a registered parcel or letter by an authorized person, it is necessary to provide a passport or other identification document (office ID, etc.) and a power of attorney to the postal employee and only then pick up the correspondence.

If permission is given by a legal entity to receive especially valuable orders or goods on the form, in addition to all the above data, the organization’s details, notary seal, and signature must be indicated.

An employee of an organization receives regular mail using a document drawn up in accordance with the Charter of the company and certified by the employer.

Take into account: in especially important cases, the principal must warn a third party (notary, postal employee) about the transfer of rights to the authorized person in order to avoid unpleasant consequences and write a statement. After all, an individual’s permission can be forged or issued by a notary, having the principal’s passport with him.
