Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Power of Attorney Format

A power of attorney is a precise grant of authority, and civil-law notarial POAs read very differently from Canadian ones. A vague translation can cause a bank or registry to reject it. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Poder Notarial

Executed before a notario público as a poder general or especial, with a protocol number. We render each facultad (power) exactly and preserve the notarial protocol and seal that give the document its authority.

🇪🇸 Spain · Poder Notarial

A notarial poder registered in the protocol, often an apostilled poder para pleitos or para vender. We preserve the notarial number and the precise scope of the mandate.

🇵🇱 Poland · Pełnomocnictwo

A notarial pełnomocnictwo with a repertorium number and specified powers. We render the granted authority and preserve the notary’s attestation and seal.

🇨🇳 China · 授权委托书

A notarial 授权委托书 carries a notary office seal and, for overseas use, a bilingual notarial certificate. We translate the granted authority and the notary attestation.

🇷🇺 Russia / CIS · Доверенность

A registered доверенность with a registry number, validity period and specified powers; the parties’ patronymics are preserved in transliteration.

🇮🇹 Italy · Procura

A procura generale or speciale executed before a notaio and recorded; we preserve the repertorio number and render the delegated powers precisely.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate powers of attorney both into English and from English into any target language. Whether general, limited or health and welfare, and in Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Russian or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for a bank, provincial land registry, a court or a foreign notary.

FAQs

Power of Attorney Translation: Common Questions

Do I need a certified translation of my power of attorney in Canada?+
Yes, whenever a POA written in one language must be acted on by an institution that works in another. A foreign bank, lawyer or court will not honour a foreign-language POA without a certified English translation, and a foreign notary will not act on a foreign POA without a local-language translation.
How much does it cost in Canada?+
$39.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A limited POA is usually one to two pages; a general or enduring POA runs longer and is billed per page. No surcharge for rarer languages.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for a short POA, most delivered the same working day. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request for a completion or bank deadline.
Does a power of attorney translation need anything beyond certification?+
A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the standard for banks, provincial land registries and the courts. A foreign POA used abroad usually needs an apostille (from $129).
Can you translate the specific powers exactly?+
Yes, and it matters: a POA is only as good as the powers it grants. We render each granted authority precisely – banking, property, litigation, healthcare – and preserve durability, revocation and governing-law clauses word for word.
Can you translate a power of attorney for use in another country?+
Yes. We translate powers of attorney from English into the required language, keeping the attestation and, where you order it, coordinating a apostille so a foreign notary or registry will accept it.
Can you translate a health and welfare POA or advance decision?+
Yes. Health and welfare powers of attorney and advance decisions are translated with the same certified accuracy, preserving the exact scope of the healthcare decisions the attorney is authorised to make.
