Power of Attorney

A certified copy is a photocopy of the original document that has been stamped/endorsed by a solicitor who has confirmed that the copy is a true copy of the original document.

Ways you can provide IR with a certified power of attorney document:

1. Electronic scanned copy sent through myIR; or
2. Provided over the counter at one of our offices; or
3. Posted to the following address:
