French is the second most spoken foreign language in Wicklow homes, used by families from France and Belgium, francophone Africans and Irish households raising bilingual children. We translate a copie intégrale d'acte de naissance, a livret de famille or a CAPES into certified English with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and stamp. Orders from Greystones to Baltinglass are placed online and emailed back.
According to Census 2022, 1,629 people in Co. Wicklow speak French at home, a figure for the whole county that ranks French second after Polish.
Wicklow's French-speaking households are unusually varied. Some are French families who moved for work in Dublin, others teach or work in film and tourism, and many are Irish families who use French at home. People from Congo, Cameroon and other francophone African countries also live in the county. Common requests include civil records, teaching qualifications, divorce judgments and wills.

When a relative dies in France, a Wicklow family may need the acte de décès in English for an Irish solicitor or bank. The English version keeps the date, the place and the civil status of the deceased exactly as the mairie recorded them.
Diplôme de Licence

In Co. Wicklow, French is spoken in homes with roots in France, Belgium, Switzerland and several African states, and each country's records follow their own rules. A French or Belgian record may carry a multilingual form, yet a Bray solicitor or Wicklow school often still wants full English. A Congolese or Cameroonian certificate may first need legalisation or an apostille in its country of issue.
