TRANSLATION OF JUDICIAL DOCUMENTS

Translation of a Power of Attorney by the experienced translators of Sigma Translations

The Power of Attorney is one of the most frequently used documents, both by individuals and legal entities. When you have to present this document in a foreign country, a professional translation of the Power of Attorney and its legalization will be necessary. For authorization purposes, there are different types of Powers of Attorney, for example:

• General Power of Attorney;
• Special/concrete Power of Attorney.

Depending on what authorities and what actions the Power of Attorney is given for, it has specific form and contents, time limit, etc. This is why the translation of a Power of Attorney should be done only by an experienced translator who is well familiar with legal terminology and practice. In judicial documents, even minimal discrepancies in the content and form cannot be allowed because they can have serious consequences.

In order for the document to be recognized abroad as well, a translation and legalization of a Power of Attorney will be necessary. In such a case, it is mandatory a sworn translator to translate the document and place their signature on a letterhead of an agency authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Likewise, in order for documents issued in a foreign country to be recognized in Bulgarian, it is necessary they to be formalized in a special way. The procedure itself is determined by the concrete situation. All documents issued by countries that have ratified the Hague Convention should have an affixed Apostille on the Power of Attorney. Other document legalization procedures are envisaged depending on the existence of bilateral contracts for legal assistance with the corresponding country, or none of the two options is valid.
