Mongolia is an Apostille Convention country, so a power of attorney signed before a Mongolian notary and apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is generally accepted in India. Indian citizens can also sign before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Ulaanbaatar. Stamp duty must be paid in India within three months of its arrival.

Power of Attorney from Mongolia: how it works
We draft a specific power for the purpose, with exact property or account details. For Mongolian notaries, we provide an English draft with a Mongolian translation so it can be notarised smoothly.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication, and guide the attorney holder through the work.
If you live outside Ulaanbaatar, a local notary can usually notarise the power, and the apostille can be obtained by courier from the Ministry, saving a trip to the capital.
We check the Mongolian translation against the English text before you sign, so that the two versions say the same thing.
What clients in Mongolia should know
- The apostille route avoids embassy legalisation.
- Keep the power narrow and specific.
- Revoke it once the task is complete.
