Roscommon's French-speaking residents are a varied group: European families living rurally, professionals in health care and education, and people from Congo, Cameroon and other francophone African countries. Records from outside the EU can need an apostille or legalisation before a Roscommon registrar will use them. Common requests are civil records, divorce judgments, school diplomas and teaching qualifications.

Teachers qualified in France who wish to teach locally register with the Teaching Council. We translate the CAPES, degree and placement reports with the translator's name and address shown.
Family proceedings on Racecourse Road may need a French jugement de divorce or convention de divorce in English. We translate the French divorce judgment or convention in full. Your solicitor can advise whether a translator's affidavit is required on Racecourse Road.
A birth certificate from Congo or Cameroon used in Roscommon civil registration may need legalisation from the issuing country. We translate the certificate and its certification together.

Certificat de célibat
French citizens marrying in Roscommon need to prove they are free to marry. The certificate can be issued by a French consulate, and a recent copie intégrale of the birth record can support it. We translate both for the civil registrar.
Relevé de notes
Teachers from France or Belgium seeking a post in Roscommon schools register with the Teaching Council, which checks the subjects in your degree. We translate each relevé de notes line by line, with marks out of 20.
Certificat de travail
Hotels, care services and manufacturers in Roscommon may ask for proof of past jobs. A French work certificate lists dates and posts, and we translate it with the employer's details as printed.
French documents from different countries follow different rules, so tell us whether yours come from France, Belgium, Switzerland or a francophone African country. A French or Belgian certificate may already carry an EU multilingual form, which a Roscommon registrar can sometimes use without a translation. Records from Cameroon or DR Congo are a different matter and may first need legalisation or an apostille where they were issued.
