“Power of Attorney (PoA) Update – Manual Submissions

There is currently a 15 week waiting period before your PoA can be processed and returned to you. This week we will be working on PoAs received on and around 2nd October 2013.

If there is a genuine urgency, we will expedite the registration of a PoA ‘on cause shown’. We ask that people respect this service and only use it in cases of true urgency to avoid defeating its purpose.”
