Everything expats, students and internationals need to know about certified translation in France.
A certified translation (officially called traduction assermentée in French) is produced by a sworn translator (traducteur assermenté) registered on the list of a French Court of Appeal. The translator signs, dates, and stamps every page, giving the translation the same legal value as the original. It is the only type of translation French administrations will accept.
Yes. All our translators are registered with a French Court of Appeal. Their translations are accepted by every prefecture, sub-prefecture, town hall, embassy, consulate, court, notary, and university in France. Our first-submission acceptance rate is 98.7%.
Standard turnaround is 48 working hours. Express is 24h and Urgent is 10–12h. The clock starts once you confirm the order and upload a clear scan. For a straightforward document (birth certificate, marriage certificate), the digital PDF is usually ready within the guaranteed timeframe.
No. A clear scan or phone photo is enough to produce the certified translation. You then receive a signed PDF by email and the original paper translation (wet stamp + handwritten signature) by tracked post, bound to a copy of your source document. Both are fully valid in France.
Certified translations start at €39 per standard page (about 250 words, A4 format, including certification, stamp and signature). Final price depends on the document, language pair, page count and turnaround. You always see a firm quote before paying · no hidden fees and no surprises on the invoice.
It depends on your country of origin:
• EU countries: no apostille needed since EU Regulation 2016/1191.
• Hague Convention countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, India, South Africa, etc.): apostille required on the original document before translation.
• Other countries: double legalisation by the foreign ministry and French consulate.
