Know The Difference

Sworn vs. certified translation for France

French consulates, préfectures, mairies, and courts only accept translations produced by a traducteur assermenté listed on a Court of Appeal registry. A U.S. certified or notarized translation has no legal standing in France and is refused at file review.
