About Our Network of Certified French Translators
We’re not a typical translation agency. Each member of our network is officially accredited under French law, making our translations instantly accepted by French courts, government departments, universities, and private organisations—without extra checks. Although we’re based in the UK, our translators live and work throughout France, from Paris and Lyon to Marseille and Bordeaux. That means you benefit from local knowledge, whether your documents originated in France or you simply need native-level accuracy in French.
Certified Translators
Hold formal accreditation to produce translations recognised by French authorities.
Sworn Translators (Traducteurs Assermentés)
Have taken an oath before a French court and can add their official stamp and signature to your documents.
Notarised Translation Partners
Coordinate directly with UK notaries to obtain apostilles or extra notary stamps for legal use abroad.
By combining our expertise, we guarantee that every project receives careful peer review and proofreading. Your privacy matters: we follow strict GDPR rules and protect your data at every step. Our transparent pricing means you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees, no surprises.

Our Core Services
Certified French Translation
When you need documents that UK or French officials will accept instantly, our certified French translation is the answer. We mirror every detail of your original—names, dates, formatting, and punctuation—and after translating, our certified translator adds a stamp and signature, making your document legally valid in France and recognised in the UK. Common documents we handle include birth, marriage, and death certificates, academic transcripts and diplomas, property deeds and legal contracts, as well as police background checks.

Sworn French Translation
For court cases, immigration filings, or any formal legal matter in France, you require a sworn translation (traduction assermentée). Our sworn translators are listed by the French Ministry of Justice, and each translation comes with a formal declaration so it’s ready for submission to French courts, administrative offices, or embassies. This service is ideal for court hearings and affidavits, immigration applications and visa documents, and any official government filings or notarial acts. If you have an urgent legal matter, book a sworn translator today and avoid costly delays.
Notarised Translation Support
Sometimes a certified or sworn translation needs extra proof—like an apostille or a UK notary stamp—especially if you’re using documents overseas. We take care of all the details: we coordinate with UK notaries by setting up appointments, completing paperwork, and sending your translation to the notary’s office; we provide apostille services so that if your documents go to a Hague Convention country, we secure the apostille sticker so your papers are recognised without question; and we ensure global acceptance by making sure embassies, consulates, and foreign institutions immediately accept our notarised translations. Going abroad? Contact us to arrange apostille or notarial support and enjoy peace of mind.
French Transcription Services
If you have an audio or video file in French that needs turning into text, our French transcription services are fast, accurate, and affordable. We offer verbatim transcriptions, which capture every word—including filler words and pauses—for legal or research use; edited transcripts, where we remove “ums” and “ahs,” correct obvious mispronunciations, and clearly label speakers; and versions with time codes and speaker labels, which are perfect for court depositions, academic studies, podcasts, or media projects. Our transcribers understand various French accents—whether European, Canadian, or regional—and can handle technical or specialised vocabularies in fields such as medicine, law, finance, or engineering. Need a transcript? Get a free quote today and receive your transcript on time, every time.
French Interpreting Services
For live conversation—whether in business meetings, court appearances, or medical appointments—our French interpreters make sure nothing gets lost in translation. We provide on-site interpreting for face-to-face events such as conferences, negotiations, and official visits; remote interpreting via video or phone calls when meeting in person isn’t possible; and escort interpreting to accompany you during site visits, factory tours, or local appointments. Each of our interpreters holds a degree or professional diploma in interpretation and specialises in legal, medical, or corporate fields; they’re skilled in both simultaneous (real-time) and consecutive (turn-taking) interpreting. Planning an event? Book an interpreter now and ensure your message is clear from the start.
