Authorization Letter Guide and Template

Introduction.

It’s not unusual to need an authorization letter sample, especially if you are busy and don’t enough time to collect important documents. A letter of authorization is given to a third-party so that he/she can prove that they are liable to perform an action on your behalf. Most of the time, this type of document is required for legal matters, banks, logistics, and business. With that said, today we will show you how to write an authorization letter and also present a template that you can edit.

What are Authorization Letters Used For?

As previously mentioned, authorization letters are required for legal matters and business. However, that’s not all. Check out the list below to see some examples that showcase scenarios where you need an authorization letter:

  • If you want to give someone legal authorization to sign documents in your name;
  • If children need permission from their parents to go on school trips;
  • If you want a friend to collect medical records on your behalf.
