Document background
The Authorization Letter Request is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss business and personal affairs, used when formal delegation of authority is needed. This document type is commonly required in situations where an individual or entity needs to authorize another party to act on their behalf, whether for specific transactions, legal proceedings, or general business matters. The request must comply with Swiss federal law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and Civil Code, and may require notarization depending on its intended use. The document typically includes detailed information about both parties, the scope of requested authority, duration, and any limitations or special conditions. Authorization Letter Requests are particularly important in Switzerland's multilingual business environment and can be used both domestically and in international contexts, often requiring additional authentication such as Apostille certification for international use.
