Power of attorney (pełnomocnictwo) translation
Sworn translation of an already prepared power of attorney for a court, notary or Starostwo. Drafting a new text from scratch is a separate drafting service — not this page.
Send an already signed or notarised power of attorney for sworn translation into Polish. Drafting a new pełnomocnictwo under Polish law is a separate product at `/sostavlenie-doverennostey-warszawa`.
POA translation — not drafting the text
Translation vs drafting
Different services and different URLs.Translation = official wording of an existing document. Drafting = preparing a new form for your situation. We do not mix them in one order without clarifying.
What must be in the translation
Principal, attorney, scope of powers, date, signatures/seals.Limits and validity period are carried over verbatim — that decides whether a notary or court accepts it.
General vs special
We translate both types as they are.We do not “narrow” or expand powers in the translation. If the text is vague — we warn before delivery.
For a car / Starostwo
A common case — POA for registration or sale.The pack with a registration certificate and car purchase contract — separate service pages.
Apostille on a POA
Often yes if a foreign document goes to a Polish notary/court.Apostille in the issuing country first, then translation (and stamp translation if needed).
Electronic / e-signed
Accepted if the office accepts that original.We can issue a translation with a qualified e-signature for online filing.
Languages we translate powers of attorney into
We work both ways: a foreign document into Polish for offices in Poland, a Polish document into the destination-country language.
Documents from Ukraine for offices in Poland — the most common pair.
Soviet-era documents and those issued in Russia and Belarus.
Documents from the UK, Ireland, the USA, India and the UAE.
Polish documents for Ukrainian offices — certificates, extracts, rulings.
For foreign employers, universities and consulates.
For offices and banks in countries that require Russian.
Three types of translation — and when you need each
If the document goes to a public office — you need a sworn translation. Prices below are for Ukrainian, Russian and English; other languages are quoted separately.

Who already ordered
All reviewsI sent a photo in the evening, had a PDF by morning, and the paper copy in Wrocław two days later. Urząd Wojewódzki accepted it without questions.
They asked to match the name spelling to the passport — I would not have thought of it. That is why the pack was accepted first time.
The amount quoted on Telegram did not change. Good when there are no “extra pages” at the end.
FAQ
These are the questions we hear most about this document.
Yes, but drafting is a separate service. Message chat: we suggest the path “text → notary → translation” or translation of a ready blank only.
