Photographs and Fingerprints as per Section 32A of Registration Act 1908

We're often asked about photographs and fingerprints as required by the Registration Act 1908. Normally, this is a separate document to the power of attorney but attached to the end of the power of attorney. Not all power of attorney will include the photographs and fingerprints, so check with your lawyer in India as to the requirements as well as the form and format. You should also check with your lawyer in India

In most cases, we only stamp that page but we don't apply a seal to it as a separate document. Occasionally, and only if requested by clients, will we also seal this document separately to the power of attorney (ie, two different documents) - simply because both the power of attorney and the photographs and fingerprints have separate 'execution clauses' and require their own set of witnesses.

If you need the power of attorney and the photographs and fingerprints to be sealed separately as two different documents, then additional costs will apply.
