For Anyone Asked to Rely on a POA
If you have been presented with a power of attorney bearing a POALock barcode, enter the verification code printed on the instrument below. You will be told only whether the instrument is currently ACTIVE or has been REVOKED — a status check never discloses the document itself.
Step One
Scan the barcode on the instrument, or type the code exactly as it appears (for example, LOCK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). Do not rely on any power of attorney whose status is shown as revoked, or whose registry code cannot be found.
A status check is $15 per check, payable before the result is shown. Banks, title companies, and law firms that verify regularly save with a monthly plan — from $99/month; high-volume institutions can call (212) 608-1660 for the institutional program.
Step Two · With Authorization
If the principal has issued you a one-time retrieval password for this instrument, you may view and download the complete executed document — once; the password burns on use, so save what you retrieve. A status check alone never grants access to the document.
Pre-launch preview. The registry currently runs in pilot mode: registrations are stored in the browser in which they were created. At launch, verification will run against the registry's secure server and codes will be checkable from any device.
