Hello
Could anyone help with the meaning of P.O. at the end of this phrase. It features alongside a signature of an ambassador legalising a marriage certificate.

P.O.
I think this is P.O. 'par ordre' ie the person who is signing is signing on behalf of the minister.
In UK correspondence I think we use the French abbreviation too. P.O.

For the Minister and P.P.
P.O = Par ordre
PP = per procuration
as confirms my oxford superlex
