What this service is, and who it’s for
A certified translation carries a signed statement from the translator attesting that it faithfully reflects the original — the form French administrations, courts, and universities require before they’ll accept a foreign-language document. We handle the two things a receiving authority checks: the words, and the certification that says the words can be trusted. Where a specific procedure requires a sworn translation — produced or countersigned by a translator registered with a French Cour d’appel — tell us before you order and we’ll confirm whether we can provide it in that form for your document.
Most of our certified-translation clients are individuals: someone applying for a French visa or residency permit, marrying or naturalising in France, enrolling at a French university, exchanging a driving licence, or registering a company using documents issued abroad.

Sworn vs. certified — and why it matters
"Certified" and "sworn" are often used loosely, but a receiving authority may need one specifically. A certified translation carries our signed statement of accuracy — the form most administrative and academic procedures accept. A sworn translation (traduction assermentée) is produced or countersigned by a translator registered with a French Cour d’appel, and carries evidentiary weight in French courts and some specific administrative procedures. We’ll confirm which your document needs before you order, and tell you plainly if we can’t provide the sworn form for your particular case rather than guess.
