Sworn Translations in France

If you're presenting a non-French document as part of a government, embassy or institutional application in France, then you'd be asked to present a sworn translation.

 

Official translations in France

In France, official translations require a sworn translator. Sworn translators in France are professional translators that have undergone a selection process and are authorised to translate from select languages into French. They are sworn in by the regional Court of Appeal where the translator lives and are all listed on the "Annuaire de Traducteurs Assermentés". 

For official translations used within France, the sworn translator’s signature and stamp on the translated document makes the translation acceptable by all relevant authorities.

 

Translations used abroad, or at embassies

For translations to be used abroad, or at foreign embassies in France, we recommend that you first obtain an Apostille on the original document and confirm the translation requirements with the authority you’re presenting the translation to. We can provide an official translation from French into the authority's local language.

If you have been asked to provide a legalised translation, the translator will be required to legalise their signature. This can be done at a town hall, by a notary, or at a chamber of commerce where the translator has registered their signature. This is usually requested if the translation is to be presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or to a foreign embassy.

 

Translation Apostille

Finally, you may be required to obtain an Apostille of the translation. In France, the original document and its translation will be provided to the Apostille office of the court to which the person (e.g. notary) who legalised the signature of the sworn translator is attached. 

We can help you meet these requests but recommend that you first confirm the requirements with the requesting authority before placing an order.
