Where a translated power of attorney is needed
An Arabic power of attorney translation becomes necessary as soon as someone in Austria is to act for a person in an Arab country or the other way round: at the notary for a property purchase, in court in probate proceedings, at the company register to found or represent a company, at banks and embassies. The same applies to notarial deeds, certificates of inheritance, articles of association and commercial register extracts.
Legal documents are translated in both directions: Austrian powers of attorney and notarial deeds into Arabic for Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq or the Gulf states, Arabic deeds into German for Austrian offices. Certified translations are produced by court sworn and certified translators and are recognised by notaries, courts and authorities.
What counts when translating legal documents
Every power, every restriction, every deadline and every condition has to be translated so that the notary or court can see the scope of representation without interpretation. Legal terms are rendered with the matching Austrian term rather than word for word, and a short note explains any term without a counterpart.
- Complete translation including the notary's certification notes, register numbers and reverse sides
- Personal names spelled as in the machine readable zone of the passport, company names as entered in the register
- Hijri dates with the Gregorian date, amounts with the currency as in the original
- Stamps, seals, signatures and apostilles described and translated
- Multi page deeds numbered consecutively and attached as one unit

Apostille and legalisation in both directions
Using an Austrian notarial deed or power of attorney in an Arab country usually requires legalisation. The usual route: certification of the notary's signature by the competent regional court, authentication by the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (BMEIA), and finally legalisation by the embassy of the destination country in Vienna. For countries party to the Apostille Convention, the apostille replaces the embassy step.
In the opposite direction, Arabic deeds have to be legalised or apostilled in the country of origin before they are presented in Austria. Because the order and the requirements vary by country and recipient, please confirm with the notary, court or embassy what exactly is expected.

Frequently asked questions about powers of attorney and notarial deeds
Certification, legalisation and process.
For notaries, courts, the company register and embassies, yes. These offices accept only certified translations by court certified translators. For internal purposes, for instance to inform a business partner, a plain specialist translation is enough.
Yes. What matters is that the power of attorney was certified and, where required, legalised in the country of issue. The notary then checks the form. We deliver the certified translation to be added to the file.
Yes, regularly for company formations, branches and tenders in the Gulf states, Egypt or Jordan. Company names stay in Latin script and are transcribed in addition if the recipient requires it.
As a rule legalise first, then translate, so that the apostille or legalisation notes are included in the translation. There are exceptions, for example when the embassy wants to legalise the translation as well. Ask the receiving office.
We use the closest Austrian term and add a short translator's note in square brackets where needed. The translation stays faithful to the original and remains understandable for the notary or judge.
Strictly confidential and GDPR compliant. We sign a non disclosure agreement on request, only the translators involved see the documents, and we delete them after completion if you wish.
