INSTRUCTIONS FOR FISCAL SERVICE FORM 235 - READ CAREFULLY

1. This form should be used only when authority is given to an officer of the corporation to execute power 

of attorney authorizing a third person to endorse and collect checks drawn on the United States Treasury 

in the name of the corporation.

the officer authorized herein to execute such power.

3. Certification should be made by the secretary or assistant secretary, or such other officer as may be 

custodian of the corporate seal and records. If the resolution confers power upon the same officer who 

certifies thereto, another officer not therein authorized should join in the certification.

4. The corporate seal should always be impressed. If the corporation has no seal, a statement to that 

effect should be inserted in the certificate, and the certificate should be sworn to before a notary public or 

other officer authorized to administer oaths generally, and unless authenticated by the official impression 

seal of such officer should be accompanied by a certificate from the proper official showing that the 

officer was in commission on the date of acknowledgment. The date when the officer’s commission 

expires should appear in any event. If a certificate is furnished, such certificate should show the dates of 

the beginning and expiration of the officer’s commission, and such period of commission should include 

the date of acknowledgment of the affidavit. Affidavits sword to before a judge or clerk of court and 

bearing the seal of the court need not be accompanied by any further certification.
