Excellent point, Gerry. I should have included the military aspect but neglected to. Thanks for having my back.

| If the person is in the US military, a military dependent, or accompanying the military overseas, the notarization could be by a person authorized by the military, and no further authentication would be needed. In your role as a Texas notary, that does not matter to you, you just accept the claim of the Texas spouse that there is a power of attorney at face value. In the unusual case where the attorney-in-fact, that is, the spouse in Texas, must execute and acknowledge the POA, you would do so. In that case the POA would have two notarizations, one by the overseas notary who met with the overseas spouse, and one by you for the Texas spouse. |

If the Principal resides overseas, then the document must be prepared and authenticated for use in the US. If the Principal is a US citizen, the US Embassy or Consulate can usually notarize the document, which may or may not require US State Department authentication.
