4. The document needs to be certified by the embassy/consulate that represents the country in which the document is to be used.

You must issue a power of attorney (Fullmakt) (Download Power of Attorney form) with a copy of your valid ID card/passport to the person that shall act on behalf of you, stating what the power of attorney concerns.
