An extension is the extension of the validity of a representation beyond the initial validity date. A representation has a maximum validity date 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 the successive extensions), if new documentation is not required to be attached to prove this extension of the representation.
Therefore,
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, for the extension of the representation, it is necessary to attach a document that accredits it, a new representation must be made.
Regarding the extension registration procedure, it is the same as new registrations:
- If the original representation did not have any attached documentation, and therefore, it was considered "pending acceptance" >> authorization from the other party is required to carry out the extension.
- If the original representation had documentation attached 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 >> extension is not allowed, a new registration is required
If the representation has already expired >> extension is not allowed, a new registration is required.
Yes.
If the initial representation was "pending acceptance", the principal or representative may request an extension and the other party must accept it.
If the initial representation was "pending validation", both the principal 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), in the "Actions" tab you can perform the "Extension".
The request of the person appearing, whether the principal or the representative, must be attached and the request for extension may 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?"
