Request a quoteA marriage celebrated abroad is not automatically recognised in France: to be entered in the French civil-status records, you must apply for its registration. This procedure, at the town hall or the consulate, requires a sworn translation of the marriage certificate, produced by a translator registered with a court of appeal.
A certified translation of the marriage certificate is also requested for a naturalisation or residence permit application, family reunification, a visa application, an inheritance, a change of name, or the recognition of a matrimonial regime. In all these cases, the authorities only accept an official translation, stamped and signed.

Each translation faithfully reproduces the structure of the original document, including marginal notes, official stamps and signatures: no information is lost.

The translation covers the entire document: the spouses' surnames and given names, dates and places of birth, addresses, the registrar's details, the witnesses, as well as marginal notes, stamps, seals and signatures. My translation faithfully reproduces the layout of the original document so that no information is lost.

Yes. As a sworn translator at the Versailles Court of Appeal, my translation bears my stamp and signature and is enforceable before public authorities: town halls, consulates, prefectures and civil-status offices. If required, a legalisation or apostille of the original document may be requested by the receiving authority.
