    French terms used in France

    Postal proxy (procuration)

    A procuration is an authorisation allowing someone you trust to collect registered mail on your behalf. Think of it as a postal power of attorney limited to collection. In France, it is arranged with La Poste and the proxy presents their own ID at the counter, which is useful when you cannot attend in person.
