Certified translations refers to the process undertaken when translating documents, to present to overseas authorities. These translations will need to be certified to ensure they are valid in the eyes of other countries’ authorities. Every country has their own legal system. To ensure you comply, you must acquire a certified translation of your document.

Businesses may also require French certified translations services for contractual documents that need to be presented during business deals overseas. Having your document certified allows for a smoother process.

France is one of the countries that follows civil law. For any overseas business or personal documents to be valid in their country, they must be translated by sworn translators who have been appointed by a government authority, like the ones we have at Absolute Translations.
