Do I need a certified translation of my power of attorney?+
Yes, whenever a POA written in one language must be acted on by an institution that works in another. A US bank, title company or court will not honor a foreign-language POA without a certified English translation, and a foreign notary will not act on a US POA without a translation into the local language.
How much does certified power of attorney translation cost?+
$29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). A limited or special POA is usually one to two pages; a general or durable POA runs longer and is billed per page. No surcharges for rarer languages.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for a one- or two-page POA, most delivered the same business day. For a closing or bank deadline, contact us about expedited and same-day service.
Does a power of attorney translation need to be notarised?+
Very often, yes – more than most documents. Banks, title companies and foreign registries frequently require the certified translation to be notarised, and a US POA used abroad usually also needs an apostille. Notarization is $19.95 per order and apostille is $149.95 per document, both available at checkout.
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, real estate, litigation, healthcare – and preserve durability, revocation and governing-law clauses word for word, so the institution accepts the scope without question.
Can you translate a US power of attorney for use in another country?+
Yes. We translate US powers of attorney from English into the required language, keeping the notarial acknowledgement and, where you order it, coordinating notarization and apostille so a foreign notary or registry will accept it.
Can you translate a medical or healthcare power of attorney?+
Yes. Medical POAs and advance healthcare directives are translated with the same certified accuracy, preserving the exact scope of the healthcare decisions the agent is authorised to make.
Simplified example, for illustrative purposes only. Your actual translation is individually tailored to your document, with full detail and certification.
