Get your certified translation in Bordeaux and across Nouvelle-Aquitaine without travelling. Our expert translators are listed with the Court of Appeal of Bordeaux.

Accepted by the Gironde Prefecture and every administration across Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Bordeaux, the capital of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, has more than 260,000 residents within the city limits and close to 820,000 people across the metropolitan area. The city has international reach along three lines: the wine trade (the world's largest AOC-certified vineyard region, exporting to 150 countries), a leading international student hub (University of Bordeaux, Sciences Po Bordeaux, Kedge Business School, INSEEC, ENSEIRB-MATMECA, engineering schools), and a marked rise in residential appeal since the Paris-Bordeaux high-speed rail line opened.
These profiles generate constant demand for certified translation: foreign diplomas for international students, civil-status records for British expatriates who relocated after Brexit, export documents for wine merchants and châteaux, and naturalisation files for European and African residents.
