letter of office
While power-of-attorney is obvious (and sort of right), in the US, it's as follows: any person in good standing can hold power of attorney for someone (eg. an Alzheimer patient) who cannot take care of his own affairs. However, it must be approved by a court. "Prozessvollmacht" can only be given to an attorney licensed by the bar association to practise before a court. So, it would be "credentials", but this is not the word, either. Correct is for counsel to "submit his letter of office" to the court.

Comment: "Thank you, Klaus (and thanks to alll the others for their valued input). I feel your answer depicts the situation best, the letter of office concerning indeed a lawyer representing an (absentee) client."
