What is it?

Representa is a representative electronic register, where citizens and companies can give a third party a power of attorney; that is, to act as a representative at the public administration.

This Service allows representatives to deal with the administration on behalf of clients without the need to send all the necessary documents for every single procedure. Thanks to Representa, civil servants can view the registered representatives at any moment.

Representatives currently registered in Representa are valid to act at catalan public administrations and it is a free service.

Representa allows:

• The principal to give representation with no documentation needed, only with their declaration of will and the acceptance by the representative (apud acta).
   
• The agent to apply for a power of attorney:
  • By sending the representation supporting documentation (*), which will have to be approved by the administration.
     
  • Without necessary documentation, which will require the acceptance by the represented (apud acta).
     

(*) This must be an original electronic document or a certified copy. Other documents such as simple scans or photographs, for example, will not be accepted, as they do not meet the principle of authenticity.
