Documents required to execute the digital power of attorney


EEPOA (Ethiopian Power of Attorney) is a mobile application for both android and iOS devices. It is an official digital power of attorney service by the Ethiopian Embassy. With the launch of this application, the embassy looks forward to bring the people of Ethiopia closer, in terms of business and other national affairs. It will allow people living in different parts of the world to return to their roots, if they desire, allowing them to invest in business affairs.


If you execute a power of attorney via EEPOA, you would be expected to produce some documents before proceeding further. Completing this process proves that you are an Ethiopian citizen before investing in a business or any other affairs in the country. Some of the documents that are acceptable for executing the digital POA are a passport, driver's license, Ethiopian Origin ID (Yellow Card), Green Card, Military ID, State ID, etc.
Some might wonder why they should opt for the digital Power of Attorney when there is an option instead of the traditional way. For one, the security measures regarding traditional Power Of Attorney is quite low, whereas digital POA ensures high security. The process of acquiring the Power Of Attorney via traditional paper method takes at least 30 days; with the digital application, it needs an average of 15 minutes. With the process getting longer the traditional way, the cost of sending all the documents to an agent is higher.  The digital procedure ensures that an Ethiopian agent receives the documents.
