Document background
The Letter of Authorization (LoA) is a crucial legal instrument in Danish business and administrative practice, used when one party needs to delegate authority to another for specific purposes. This document, governed by Danish law, particularly the Contracts Act (Aftaleloven), serves as formal evidence of the grantor's intent to authorize another party to act on their behalf. The LoA can be used for various purposes, from representing a company in business negotiations to handling personal matters. It must clearly specify the scope of authority, duration, and any limitations to prevent misuse or misunderstanding. The document's format and content should comply with Danish legal requirements, and depending on its use, may need to be notarized or accompanied by additional documentation. For certain applications, especially in international contexts, the LoA might need to be supplemented with certified translations or apostilles.
