What it is and what it is used for

What is a certified translation of a power of attorney?

A certified translation of a power of attorney is the official translation of the notarised document by which one person (the principal) authorises another (the attorney) to act on their behalf, signed and stamped by an authorised translator. It sets out who grants the power of attorney, who receives it and, above all, the specific powers that are granted.

This is required when a power of attorney drawn up in one language needs to be recognised in another country: remote property sales, cross-border inheritances, representation in legal proceedings, banking transactions or commercial powers of attorney. Certification by a sworn translator ensures that notaries, registries and authorities accept the power of attorney as authentic. It is suitable for both individuals and businesses.

In a power of attorney, it is crucial to accurately translate the scope of the powers granted: a subtle nuance that is misinterpreted can either expand or limit what the attorney-in-fact is authorised to do. That is why we accurately translate the type of power of attorney (general, special, for litigation), the powers, the limitations and the clauses relating to substitution or revocation. To provide an accurate quote, we need to see the full power of attorney, the languages involved, the recipient country or organisation, and your deadline.

Confidentiality of your notarial documents

A power of attorney contains personal data relating to the principal and the attorney, as well as information about your legal or financial affairs: sensitive information. At Trayma, we treat this information confidentially throughout the entire process.

We restrict access to the assigned equipment, use secure channels for file sharing and maintain a record of changes when there are multiple versions. If your project requires it, we draw up a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and establish a workflow with version control.

  • Secure channelsFile sharing tailored to the level of sensitivity.
  • Bespoke NDAA confidentiality agreement where the project requires one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sworn translations of powers of attorney: frequently asked questions

Why do I need a certified translation of a power of attorney?
This is because when a power of attorney drawn up in one language is to be used in another country, the authorities will only accept it if it is accompanied by an official translation. A certified translation ensures that the legal terms and the powers granted are accurate and legally valid in the target language, thereby preventing misunderstandings in international proceedings.
What types of powers of attorney do you translate?
We translate all types of powers of attorney: general, special, for legal proceedings, for the sale and purchase of property, for banking matters, for inheritance and commercial powers of attorney, amongst others. In each case, we ensure that the powers granted are accurately conveyed into the target language.
What is the difference between a standard translation and a certified translation of a power of attorney?
A certified translation is carried out by an authorised translator who certifies its accuracy with their signature and stamp, which gives it legal validity with notaries, registries and authorities. A standard translation does not have this certification and is not usually accepted for official procedures.
How do you avoid errors regarding the scope of the powers granted?
A single mistranslated nuance can either broaden or restrict what the attorney-in-fact is authorised to do, so we carry out an independent review focusing on the scope of the power of attorney, its limits, and any clauses relating to substitution or revocation. This is the area where the most issues are avoided in a power of attorney.
How long does it take to have a power of attorney certified?
It depends on the language, length and complexity of the power of attorney. If you have an appointment at a notary’s office or a deadline, please let us know when you request a quote: we’ll do our best to meet it without compromising on quality, and we’ll consider an express service where feasible.
What do I need to send to request a quote?
Please provide the full power of attorney as a PDF or a legible scan, along with the target language and any specific formatting or certification requirements you have been given. Once we have this, we will confirm the price, a realistic turnaround time and the delivery method.
Can I sort this out without having to go anywhere?
Yes. You can send the power of attorney as a PDF or a scan and process it online, wherever you are. If you need to visit our office in Alicante in person, we’ll arrange this on a case-by-case basis.
