Certified Hausa power of attorney translation for Apostille.

Power of attorneys issued by Hausa-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US apostille filings. Powers of attorney — including immigration-specific G-28 equivalents — for US legal representation and family matters.

Hausa is the most widely spoken language in West Africa and a lingua franca across northern Nigeria, southern Niger, and neighboring regions. Verdacert translates Hausa-language civil status records, sharia court documents from northern Nigerian states, and academic and identity documents for asylum, family-based immigration, and educational filings. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Kano (Eastern) Hausa, Sokoto and northwestern Hausa, Niger Hausa, with country-specific document conventions from Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Cameroon.

Modern Hausa is written in a Latin-based alphabet called Boko, with diacritics for hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ). Older religious, scholarly, and northern Nigerian sharia court documents may appear in the Arabic-based Ajami script — Verdacert handles both. Nigerian civil documents are frequently bilingual (Hausa + English), and the certified translation reconciles both versions where they differ.

Verdacert coordinates apostille filing through the relevant US Secretary of State for documents being used abroad. Pricing includes our service fee plus state pass-through fees (which vary by state).

For power of attorney translations specifically, our reviewers focus on religious vs civil notarial forms. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
