I've just been made Power of Attorney, how can I register this with you?
Registering online
You can register a Power of Attorney (POA) online (UK residents only) by downloading and completing the form on our website and using the button at the end to submit it along with the scanned copies of:
- Your full POA document
- Photo ID (one form if you are a NatWest customer or two forms if you are not)
- Selfie photographs of your front and side profile
Access the online form and guidance on submitting it on our Make a change to your account page(opens in a new window).
Registering in branch
You can also register a POA with us in one of our UK branches by completing the Add Power of Attorney to an Account (PDF, 105KB) form in advance and bringing it in, along with:
- Your original full POA document or a copy certified by a solicitor
- Two forms of photo ID
Please note, a Donor can certify a copy of their own POA document if they still have capacity to make decisions.
