The Authorization Letter for Collection of Documents is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss business and personal affairs, commonly used when an individual or organization needs to delegate the authority to collect important documents to another party. This document type is particularly relevant when the original party cannot personally retrieve documents from institutions, government offices, or other organizations. The letter must comply with Swiss federal laws, including the Swiss Civil Code and Code of Obligations, and may require cantonal-specific notarization depending on the document type and purpose. It typically includes detailed identification of all parties, specific scope of authorization, validity period, and may require witness signatures or notarization for certain official purposes. The document serves as legal proof of authorization and protects all parties involved in the document collection process.
