For an administrative procedure in France — marriage, naturalisation, school enrolment — a birth certificate written in a foreign language must come with a sworn translation.
Who can translate a birth certificate?
Only a sworn translator, registered with a court of appeal, can produce a translation recognised by administrations, courts and notaries. It bears their stamp, signature and a registration number.
Documents to provide
Send a legible copy of the original certificate. Depending on the country, a legalisation or apostille may be required beforehand.
Turnaround and pricing
Usually a few business days. The price depends on the language and volume. Request a quote and attach your document.
