Why this power of attorney from the social welfare office is important:
The social welfare office often processes vital applications (e.g. for welfare or basic income support). Without a written power of attorney, third parties are not allowed to make legally binding declarations – even close relatives can be turned away. With the completed document, you protect yourself against delays and security risks and ensure that your requests are processed reliably.
The document also provides information on limiting the powers and on form – such as written authorization, signature and certification if required .
