P. PRO stands for “PER PROCURATIONEM,” indicating representation or acting on behalf of another person.
The abbreviation “P. PRO” stands for “per procurationem,” meaning “by the agency of” or “on behalf of.” It is commonly used in signatures to indicate that the person signing is doing so on behalf of someone else. For example, if John Smith signs a letter as “Jane Doe, p. pro.,” it means that Jane Doe has given authorization for John Smith to sign the letter on her behalf. This abbreviation is frequently used in legal and business contexts when someone needs to sign a document on behalf of another person who is unavailable or unable to do so. By using “p. pro.,” the signer is indicating that they have the authority to act on behalf of the absent party.
