- Authority to collect an ID document and handle registration matters (Germany)The authority that lets someone else collect your new ID card or passport at the German citizens' office (Bürgeramt), register or deregister your address for you, or apply for and collect a registration certificate. With the statement that the PIN letter has arrived, without which an ID card is not handed to a representative. Some offices offer their own form free of charge; this one is an independently worded alternative. In German, under the German Civil Code (BGB); fill in, print, sign by hand and give the original to your representative.
- General power of attorney for financial affairs (Germany)The German Federal Ministry of Justice publishes a free model only for the lasting power of attorney, which also covers health and residence; this general power of attorney (Generalvollmacht) is our own wording for your property alone. It takes effect on signature, without conditions: your attorney represents you with banks, contracting parties, authorities and courts in all financial matters, and it continues if you later lose capacity. You choose whether it outlasts your death and whether self-dealing (§ 181 of the German Civil Code, BGB) and sub-delegation are allowed. In German, to sign by hand.
- Lasting power of attorney for health, care and property (Germany)The German Federal Ministry of Justice publishes a free model of the Vorsorgevollmacht; this document is our own wording. You authorise someone you trust to act for you in health and care, on where you live, with authorities and in all financial matters once you can no longer do so yourself. It names medical decisions, detention and coercive measures expressly, as § 1820(2) of the German Civil Code (BGB) requires, and works towards third parties without conditions. In German, to print and sign by hand.
- Other parent's consent to a child's ID card or passport (Germany)The written consent of the parent who cannot come along when a child's ID card or passport is applied for in Germany. Where parental responsibility is joint, both parents apply; the one who cannot attend sends written consent with their ID card or a copy. The consent also confirms the child's habitual residence, which some offices ask about. Many German towns offer their own consent form free of charge — this document is an independently worded alternative. In German; fill in, print and sign by hand.
- Parents' consent for a minor to travel abroad (Germany)A consent for a child travelling abroad from Germany without their parents, with only one parent, with grandparents or alone. German law does not require one, but the German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) and the Federal Police recommend it. It holds what they recommend: the child's details, the details of each holder of parental responsibility and how to reach them, the journey and the accompanying adult. Written in German with an English translation on the page. Whether the signatures must be certified or translated depends on the destination. Fill in, print, sign by hand and hand it over with copies of your ID.
- Revocation of a power of attorney with notice to third parties (Germany)Revoking a power of attorney in Germany: a letter to the agent asking for the power of attorney document back (§ 175 of the German Civil Code, BGB), which doubles as the notice to the bank, office or other body the power was shown or announced to — each receives a signed copy, because towards them the power stays in force until they are told it has ended (§§ 170–173 BGB). With the court route for declaring an unreturned document void (§ 176 BGB). In German; fill in, print, sign and deliver to each recipient with proof of receipt.
- Power of attorney for a single matter (Germany)A power of attorney for one matter in Germany — collecting a document, registering or deregistering a car, handing over a flat, attending an appointment at an office. With the principal and the agent, the matter described precisely, any limits, an expiry date, the return of the document and a specimen of the agent's signature. Under the German Civil Code (BGB) a power of attorney needs no particular form, but the land registry, the commercial register or disclaiming an inheritance require a publicly certified signature. In German; fill in, print, sign by hand and hand over the original.
