• A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows an individual, called the principal, to appoint another person, called an agent or attorney-in-fact, to act on their behalf in legal, financial, or other matters. In Mexico, a Power of Attorney is called "Poder Notarial."

• A Power of Attorney must be granted in writing and signed by the principal before a notary public in Mexico.
• It is important to note that a Power of Attorney can only be granted by a person who has legal capacity to do so, and the agent must act in accordance with the terms of the POA and within the scope of their authority.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
