Z up. Wojta

Polish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This is on the stamp of someone in authority (maybe Local Governer?). What does the abbreviation mean? What does the whole thing mean?

On behalf of Wojt

I suggest not to translate Wojt (it is a self-government leader in a rural gmina)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lota : sounds like someone's name, which it is not.

on behalf of Voit/Head of gmina/municipality/commune

whoah...first things first:
z up. = on behalf of/ authorized by (stands for: z upoważnienia)
Wójt - this is problematic, since different institutions promote different solutions, e.g. TEPIS provides Voit (see: http://www.tepis.org.pl/biuletyn/41/sam_anglia.htm), whereas others prefer head of gmina/municipality/commune. In fact, wójt IS the head of gmina. Select the option that suits you best. Good luck;))
Peer comment(s):

agree Jerry Dean : on behalf of the Head of the commune I think is the best

thanks:)
neutral Lota : no one will understand this, voit is incomprehensible without specifying right away what it is ( a commune/community leader)

this is why I decided to provide a wide range of possible translations for Matthew to choose...

by/on Wojt's authority

Z upoważnienia wójta
W słowniku PWN wójt jest przetłumaczony jako borough leader, ale nie wydaje mi się aby to było odpowiednie tłumaczenie, więc moze lepiej zostać przy wójcie?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lota : sounds like Wojt is a name, too

if translated for US you could also say: per pro township administrator/executive and if fact everyone will have a pretty good idea what you mean

I meant ..."IN fact everyone will..." of course
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lota : pro commune head/administrator is not clear. do you mean "deputy"?
45 mins
maybe unclear, but it seemed to work before... http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1053364 and no, I do not mean "deputy" because deputy is: [`depjutI] zastępca, zastępstwo, deputowany, per pro (pp)= z upowaznienia
