Translation, notarisation & legalisation
These are separate requirements — check what the receiving authority asks for
A certified translation does not automatically mean the document has been notarised or legalised. The correct route depends on the authority, court, solicitor, bank, company or overseas body receiving the Power of Attorney.
Certified translation
The source Power of Attorney is translated into English with the agreed certification information.
Notarised translation
An additional notarial step may be requested in some legal or overseas processes. Order it only when the receiving authority requires it.
Apostille / legalisation
Legalisation is a separate process. Check the destination authority’s instructions before deciding which documents or signatures need legalisation.
Legal documents are checked against the source before the completed translation is delivered.
Foreign POA and UK property
Foreign Powers of Attorney can have additional requirements for registered land

Power of Attorney translation FAQ
Common questions about translating a Power of Attorney
What is a Power of Attorney translation?
It is a translation of a legal document in which one person gives another person authority to act on their behalf. The translation reflects the wording of the source document; it does not determine whether the underlying Power of Attorney is legally valid.
Does a Power of Attorney translation need to be certified?
That depends on the receiving organisation and purpose. Where certification is required, the translated document can include the relevant accuracy statement, date and translator or translation-company details.
Does the translation also need notarisation?
Not automatically. Notarisation is a separate step and should be ordered when the receiving authority, solicitor, court, bank or overseas organisation specifically requires it.
What about an apostille or legalisation?
Apostille or legalisation requirements depend on where and how the document will be used. Check the receiving authority’s instructions before ordering additional steps.
Can you translate a foreign Power of Attorney for UK property matters?
Yes, the document can be translated into English. For registered-land matters in England and Wales, HM Land Registry may also require additional evidence such as a certified copy and legal opinion, depending on the circumstances.
How much does Power of Attorney translation cost?
Standard certified translation starts from £40 per page, express from £65 per page and same-day from £100 per page where available. The actual quote depends on the source document and any additional requirements.
How quickly can it be translated?
Turnaround depends on the language, length, legal complexity, source quality and current capacity. Upload the complete document with the deadline so the available option can be confirmed.
Can you provide legal advice on whether the Power of Attorney is valid?
No. The service translates the document. Questions about validity, enforceability, execution or foreign-law requirements should be addressed to a suitably qualified legal professional.
