Three years ago, you gave your brother a Power of Attorney to manage your flat in Pune. You executed the POA at the Indian consulate in New York. You thought it was done. Simple paperwork. Family trust.
Now your brother wants to sell the flat. The buyer's lawyer in Pune asks for a translated copy of the POA. You send it. The lawyer calls: "This needs certified English translation. We can't proceed without it."
The entire deal is stuck. Your brother is waiting. The buyer is getting impatient. And you're stuck in New York, 8,000 miles away, unable to do anything about a $6.99 translation.
Why POA Translations Get Rejected
- Entirely in Hindi/Regional Language: POAs registered at Indian sub-registrar offices are in the state language — Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, etc.
- Notary Stamp & Seal in Regional Script: The notary's stamp, registration details, and jurisdiction info are in regional language.
- Property Details in Local Language: Property address, survey number, and ownership details — all critical for the sale — are in the regional language.
- Foreign Courts & Banks Need English: If your POA is being used abroad (or translated for foreign bank/legal purposes), English certification is mandatory.
Step-by-Step: Getting Your POA Translated
- Get your original POA ready — ensure the notary stamp and registration page are clearly visible.

Affordable Pricing: Any Indian Language to English certified translation starts at just $6.99. English to Foreign Language starts at $10.99. No hidden fees.
