Civil status extracts

French-speaking countries often issue civil records as full copies (copie intégrale) or extracts, sometimes with marginal notes on marriage, divorce or death. We translate every marginal note, because missing annotations are a common reason for requests for evidence.

Sworn translations in France and Switzerland

When a US document is used in France, authorities often ask for a translation by a court-approved translator (traducteur agréé près une cour d'appel). As an international company we can advise on and arrange the translation format the receiving authority requires.

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate Haitian civil documents?

Yes. Haitian civil records are usually in French, and we translate them in full, including handwritten entries and stamps.

Is Canadian French handled differently?

Terminology from Quebec differs in places from European French, and our translators take this into account for both reading and producing documents.

How much does a certified French translation cost?

It depends on the document, its length, the translation direction and your deadline. Send the document through the quote form or to info@abc-offices.com and you receive a written quote before any work begins.

Request a quote

Prices depend on the document, the language pair, the destination country and your deadline, so every request gets its own written quote. Attach your documents if you have them; it makes the quote exact.
