Sworn translation of legal and notarial deeds

It is needed for powers of attorney to be used abroad or in Italy, contracts, corporate and chamber-of-commerce documents, sales, inheritance and litigation.

When you need a sworn translation of a legal or notarial deed

Contracts, powers of attorney, notarial deeds and corporate documents need a sworn translation whenever they must take legal effect in another language or country. Recurring cases:

• Powers of attorney for purchases, sales or representation abroad.
• Commercial contracts and agreements between parties from different countries.
• Corporate documents (articles, company records, minutes) for branches and foreign expansion.
• Property transactions and notarial deeds with foreign parties.
• Succession and wills with assets or heirs abroad.
• Tenders and public contracts, international.
• Judgments and judicial acts to be enforced outside Italy.

Terminological precision for deeds that hold legal weight

Contracts, powers of attorney, articles of association, company records and notarial deeds leave no room for approximation: an imprecise rendering of a clause or a company name can have concrete consequences. We work with the care the legal field demands and, if you provide glossaries or the official names to follow, we apply them to ensure consistency with the rest of your documentation.

We also handle the apostille or legalization when the deed must be valid abroad — a frequent step for powers of attorney and corporate documents — and we treat every matter with full confidentiality.

What to prepare and attach

• A complete, legible scan of the deed, including attachments.
• Any apostille or legalization from the country of origin.
• A glossary or official names (e.g. company names) to follow.
• The intended use.

Delivery time

Timing depends on the length and complexity of the deed. We give a precise estimate after a quick review.

Stamp duty

Stamp duty normally applies, except for exemptions provided by law. For longer deeds the number of stamps depends on the pages.

Validity abroad

For abroad we handle apostille or legalization after the swearing-in, depending on the destination country.
