Common situations

Perhaps you are in one of these cases

Marriage celebrated abroad

To have your union recognised in France, the foreign certificate must be translated by a sworn translator. We take care of it, and tell you if any other document is needed.

Family reunification & visas

Consulates and immigration authorities request translated — and sometimes legalized — certificates. Tell us your situation: we prepare the complete file.

Inheritance & notaries

Your notaire needs foreign civil-status documents translated to settle an estate. We work with notarial offices daily and know their requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Will my translation be accepted?
Yes. Our translations are produced by sworn translators registered with the French Courts of Appeal; they bear a stamp, signature and certification wording — exactly what French prefectures, courts, notaries, consulates and universities require, and what foreign authorities expect from a French certified translation.
My certificate is multilingual — does it still need translating?
Some multilingual certificates issued under international conventions are exempt from translation, others are not, and each authority has its own practice. Show us your document: we will tell you immediately whether a translation is needed.
How long does it take?
For a simple document, the translation can often be completed within 24 to 72 hours. If your deadline is close, tell us: our express service handles urgent files as a priority.
Do I need to bring the original?
A clear copy or photo of the document is enough for the quote and to prepare the translation. Originals must be produced with the certified translations. You can also simply drop everything off at our Champs-Élysées office, no appointment needed.
