Certified Translation of Official Administrative Documents — French ↔ English

When is a certified translation required?

Many administrative procedures in France and abroad require that your identity documents or official forms be accompanied by a certified translation signed by a sworn translator. This applies to visa applications, residence permit files, civil status procedures, and professional recognition requests.

David Ameisen, sworn translator appointed by the Douai Court of Appeal, provides certified translations recognized by all French administrative bodies and official foreign organisations.

Frequently asked questions

Is your translation accepted by French prefectures?
Yes. A translation signed by a sworn translator appointed by a French Court of Appeal is valid at all French prefectures and sub-prefectures throughout the country.
Is a scan sufficient to begin the translation?
Yes, a legible digital copy (scan or photo) is sufficient in the vast majority of cases. The original may be requested by the receiving body — not the translator.
How long does it take to translate an administrative document?
Standard administrative documents are typically translated and delivered within 24 to 48 business hours. Express turnaround is available on request — please mention urgency when submitting.
