Prepared around
your legal instrument.
Tell us whether the document is for a UK bank, conveyancer, court, overseas notary, public registry or other organisation. Requirements depend on the instrument and jurisdiction, and may include originals, certified copies or additional formalities.
Property & financial matters
A translated power of attorney may help a bank, property professional or other recipient review powers granted abroad. The recipient must determine whether the underlying appointment is valid and acceptable.
Powers, parties & restrictions
We translate the appointed attorney and principal or donor details, authority granted, limits, effective dates, witnessing clauses, revocation wording and visible seals or annotations.
LPAs & overseas instruments
An England and Wales lasting power of attorney must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before use. Translation does not register it, certify a copy or prove the recognition of a foreign power. See GOV.UK guidance.
Requirements vary. Share any instructions from the receiving authority before ordering.
Every power.
Every restriction.
Powers of attorney may include detailed authority, conditions and legal terms. We translate the actual clauses as written, without adding authority or making legal conclusions.
- Principal or donor and attorney identities
- Scope, limits and duration of appointed powers
- Effective dates, revocation clauses and references
- Execution, witnesses, seals and attached schedules
Before you order
Supply the full document in a clear PDF or scan. Tell us who issued it, its source language and where it will be used. A bank, land registry, court or overseas body may request additional formalities.
For England and Wales lasting powers of attorney, review official registration guidance and the separate rules for certifying a copy. See our legal translation services or apostille support where necessary. Translation does not validate or register the underlying appointment.

What is included in a certified power of attorney translation?
We translate the legible existing document, including the identity of the principal or donor and appointed attorney, powers granted, limitations, effective dates, signatures, witness details and associated schedules. A signed statement certifies the accuracy of the translation.
How much does power of attorney translation cost?
Translation for court and legal proceedings starts at £41.45 per page. Standard certified translations for general or immigration use, where applicable, start at £15.45 per page. Final cost depends on pages, language, length, document complexity and any additional services.
Does translating a power of attorney make it legally valid in the UK?
No. A certified translation explains the content of the original instrument; it does not create a new power of attorney, establish the authority of an attorney or guarantee recognition of an overseas document. Ask the receiving organisation or a qualified legal professional about validity.
Is a lasting power of attorney the same as an ordinary power of attorney?
No. Different types of power of attorney have different legal purposes and formalities. In England and Wales, a lasting power of attorney (LPA) must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before an attorney can use it. Translation is separate from registration.
Can you certify a copy of a power of attorney?
Our signed translation certificate confirms the translation’s accuracy, not the authenticity of an original or the status of a certified legal copy. For a certified copy of an England and Wales LPA, see the official GOV.UK rules or ask an authorised professional.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille for an overseas power of attorney?
Some receiving organisations or foreign jurisdictions ask for a notarised original, notarised translation, apostille or other legalisation. It depends on the instrument and destination. Provide their written instructions so any additional services can be quoted accurately.
Can you translate all pages and annexes of a power of attorney?
Yes. Upload the complete readable instrument, including schedules, restrictions, signature pages, witness information and stamps. Tell us if the recipient permits any limited extract before requesting a partial translation.
How long does power of attorney translation take?
Clear short instruments are typically translated in 1–2 working days. Longer legal instruments, specialist terminology and additional formalities may take more time. Available delivery options are confirmed after reviewing the document.
