About Us
Our Story
French Certified Translation UK began when a small group of French translators living in the UK realised that many individuals and businesses struggled to find trustworthy, officially accepted French language solutions. Whether it was a family applying for a French visa, a law firm working on a cross-border case, or a company expanding into French-speaking markets, they all faced the same problem: finding someone who could guarantee an accurate translation or a professional interpreter at short notice.
In 2018, we decided to join forces. Each of us had already been working on our own, holding recognised French accreditation and years of experience, but by coming together, we created a strong network of experts spread across both countries. This meant we could cover more ground, share knowledge, and ensure that no matter where in France a document originated or which city in the UK you were based, you would receive a consistent, high-quality service.
Who We Are
Certified Translators
Every translator in our network holds formal recognition under French law. That means your translated documents are accepted by French courts, consulates, universities, and UK institutions without question.
Sworn Translators (Traducteurs Assermentés)
Our sworn translators have taken an oath before a French court, granting them the authority to add their official stamp and signature to your documents. This is essential for legal matters, court proceedings, and any situation requiring immediate acceptance by French authorities.
Notarised Translation Support
When documents need an extra layer of legal proof—like an apostille or UK notary stamp—we handle every step. We coordinate with local notaries, complete the paperwork, and secure the needed stamps so you can send documents abroad with complete confidence.
Transcribers & Interpreters
Beyond written translations, our team includes skilled transcribers who turn French audio or video files into clear, accurate text, and interpreters who bridge language gaps in real time—whether on-site or via remote calls. They all hold degrees or professional diplomas in their respective fields, with specialisations in legal, medical, corporate, or technical contexts.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide fast, accurate, and fully compliant French language solutions so you can focus on what matters most—your goals, your family, or your business. We believe that language should never be a barrier. Instead, it should be a tool that helps you:
Secure visas or residency in France without delays
Submit perfectly translated legal documents for court or administrative purposes
Communicate clearly with French-speaking partners, colleagues, or clients
Share your research, media, or marketing content with a French audience without losing nuance
