Easier postal power of attorney at a notary

An amendment to the postal law allows granting a power of attorney to collect mail and court letters at a notary, not only at a post office. This is a facilitation for the elderly, the sick, or those abroad who cannot visit a post office in person. The change takes effect 3 months after its announcement.
Key points
A postal power of attorney can now be granted before a notary (notarial deed or notarized signature), not only at a post office.
Elderly people, people with disabilities, hospitalized individuals, or those abroad will have easier access to collect official and court correspondence.
Revoking such a power of attorney will only be effective after delivering a statement to the post office where it was filed.
If the power of attorney covers several addresses, it must be filed at each post office responsible for those addresses.
The new rules take effect 3 months after announcement to allow Poczta Polska to adapt procedures and train staff.
