Chilean consulates go further than most: they draft public powers of attorney themselves, both general and special, for use in Chile. You do not always need a document prepared elsewhere — the consular officer can produce the instrument, which has the force of a public deed.

Quick facts

AppointmentDedicated email address
TypesGeneral and special

The larger posts run a separate email address for powers of attorney, distinct from passports and civil registry. Using it is what gets the appointment confirmed.

Property and inheritance are the usual reasons, and Chilean real estate is identified by registry entries that must be quoted exactly.

How to apply

  1. Ask the lawyer or notary in Chile what the transaction requires and which type of power.
  2. Gather the registry details, account numbers or case references.
  3. Email the powers of attorney address with the details and your documents.
  4. Attend the confirmed appointment with your identity card or passport.
  5. Have the officer draft the instrument, then sign it and pay the tariff.
  6. Courier the original to Chile and register it where the transaction requires.

Required documents

Where to apply

At the consulate covering your area, using its dedicated appointment channel for notarial acts.

Additional notes

Say exactly what you need

Because the consulate drafts the document, the quality depends on the instructions you bring. Get them from the notary in Chile in writing.

Be specific

Name the property with its registry details and the acts authorised. Chilean notaries and registries reject vague instruments.

Inheritance

Estates with heirs abroad usually require each heir to grant a power, and coordinating them is what takes the time.

Revocation

Revoking requires a further public instrument through the same route, with notice to whoever holds the original.
