Document background
The Authorization Letter for ID is a crucial document in Swiss legal practice, commonly used when an individual needs to delegate authority for handling matters related to their identification documents. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as when someone is unable to personally appear for ID-related procedures, during extended absences, or for business representatives handling corporate documentation. The letter must comply with Swiss federal regulations, particularly the Federal Act on Identity Documents and data protection laws. It typically includes detailed information about both parties, specific authorizations granted, validity period, and authentication requirements. The document's format and content are influenced by Swiss civil code provisions regarding representation and authorization, ensuring its legal validity for both domestic and international use.
