An extension is the extension of the validity of a representation beyond the initial validity date. A representation has a maximum date of validity of 5 years, therefore, within this period, the representation can be extended, that is, its validity can be extended.
Any representation that is valid and has a validity of less than 5 years can be extended, with a maximum validity date of 5 years (counting the sum of the initial representation and successive extensions), if no new documentation is required to be attached to prove this extension of the representation.
So,
If A represents B for 1 year >>> n extensions can be made for the remaining 4 years
If A represents B for 2 years >> n extensions can be made for the remaining 3 years
If, due to the extension of the representation, it is necessary to attach a document that accredits it, a new representation must be made.
In relation to the registration procedure for the extension, this is the same as for new registrations:
- If the original representation did not have attached documentation, and therefore, it was "pending acceptance" >> authorization from the other party is required to carry out the extension.
- If the original representation had attached documentation and therefore went through the "pending validation" status >> validation is required to carry out the extension.
If the representation is based on a new power of attorney document >> the extension is not allowed, a new registration must be made
If the representation has already expired >> the extension is not allowed, a new registration must be made
Yes.
If the initial representation was "pending acceptance" the power of attorney or representative can request an extension and it must be accepted by the other party.
If the initial representation was "pending validation" both the power of attorney and the representative can request an extension and it must be validated by the administration.
You must search for the representation to be extended, searching for the representations that exist between two people, in the "Management" tab.
Once there, if the representation meets the requirements (valid and valid for less than 5 years), the "Extension" can be done in the "Actions" tab.
The request of the person appearing, either the power of attorney or the representative, must be attached and the extension request can be made.
The request will remain in "Pending validation" or "Pending acceptance" depending on the life cycle of the original representation, as explained in the section "How does the extension flow work?"
