* Power of Attorney forms must be notarized and legalized via either the Apostille procedure or at a Paraguayan consulate in your home country. The consulate will provide instructions on the procedure that is required; note that costs will be incurred for this. Forms must be filed within 60 days from the filing date of the application. If the form is issued for a company, the Notary Public must not only certify the authenticity of the signature, but also confirm that the person(s) is legally capable of doing so.


** Assignments do not need any kind of certification or legalization and must be filed within 60 days from the filing date of the application.


*** The Spanish translation can be submitted within two months from the filing date. However, the Spanish translation of the title and abstract must be submitted at filing.
