How to Say "Proxy Form" in French

formulaire de procuration

The English phrase "proxy form" is translated into French as formulaire de procuration.

This phrase refers to a document that allows a person to appoint someone else to vote or act on their behalf.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of formulaire (form), de (of) and procuration (proxy or power of attorney).

The noun procuration is feminine, so if you use an adjective to describe the proxy itself, it must be feminine (e.g., une procuration écrite).

In French law, certain types of procuration must be 'authentifiée', meaning they must be signed in front of a notary or a police officer to be valid.
The word procuration shares its root with the English word 'procure', meaning both words stem from the Latin 'procurare', which means 'to take care of'.
The person you appoint via a procuration is known as the mandataire, while you are the mandant.
