Document background
The Authorization Consent Letter is a vital legal instrument used in Belgian jurisdiction to formally delegate authority or grant specific permissions. This document type is essential when one party needs to authorize another to act on their behalf, whether for personal, business, or legal matters. The letter must comply with Belgian Civil Code requirements and, where relevant, align with EU GDPR regulations, particularly when personal data processing is involved. An Authorization Consent Letter typically includes clear identification of all parties, specific scope of authorization, temporal limitations, and explicit consent declarations. It's commonly used in situations ranging from medical consent to business representations, power of attorney arrangements, and data processing authorizations. The document's format and content must meet Belgian legal standards for validity and enforceability, often requiring specific formalities such as witness signatures or notarization depending on the authorization's nature.
