Certified English translations of French-language documents from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and francophone Africa. We translate the copie intégrale d’acte de naissance for citizenship, the relevé de notes du baccalauréat for the CAO, the livret de famille for the HSE and the extrait de casier judiciaire for an employer. Accents, particles and hyphenated first names stay exactly as written. Every translation carries a signed Certificate of Accuracy, our stamp and a reference number, for €29.95 per page, most orders in 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 51,568 people speaking French at home, and 32,244 French speakers were born in Ireland, more than for any other foreign language, which suggests many bilingual Irish families. Alongside them are people from France, Belgium, Switzerland and francophone Africa. Dublin City had 8,266 French speakers and Cork City and County 6,830. Our French work covers CAO and university applications, Teaching Council registration for teachers of French, marriage notification, and African civil records that may need legalisation or an apostille.

Copie intégrale d’acte de naissance
French mairies issue a copie intégrale (full copy) and an extrait with or without filiation. For citizenship or the Foreign Births Register, the copie intégrale with its mentions marginales is the safer choice.
Livret de famille
The French family booklet records the marriage and each child’s birth. Registrars in Ireland usually want the acte de mariage itself, so we translate whichever you hold, or both if the registrar asks.
Jugement de divorce / Convention de divorce
Since 2017 many French divorces by mutual consent are agreements lodged with a notaire rather than court judgments. We translate the jugement or the convention with its deposit certificate, plus the annotated marriage entry.
Extrait de casier judiciaire (bulletin n° 3)
France’s criminal record extract can be requested free online. Irish employers and registration bodies may ask for it next to Garda vetting, and we translate the bulletin n° 3 exactly, including the ‘néant’ entry.
Diplôme du baccalauréat
Translated with the relevé de notes showing each épreuve and the final mark out of 20. Irish universities use those marks to assess EU applicants, so we never round or convert them.
Diplôme de Licence / Master
French degrees come with a supplément au diplôme and ECTS credits. QQI NARIC and the Teaching Council rely on the credit breakdown, so we translate course titles and credits line by line.
Jugement supplétif d’acte de naissance
In several francophone African countries a late-registered birth is proven by a court judgment. Irish bodies may ask for it with the birth certificate, and we translate both, with court stamps and any legalisation.
Certificat d’aptitude au professorat (CAPES)
Teachers trained in France register with the Teaching Council using their teaching qualification, degree transcripts and service records. We translate each one, stamped and signed with our full contact details.

French and Belgian students apply to Irish universities with a baccalauréat or a CESS. The CAO asks for an official translation, defined as one carried out by a professional translation service provider, which is what we deliver.
Teachers of French trained in France or Belgium register with the Teaching Council, which wants translations stamped and signed by a qualified translator with contact details. We translate the diplôme, supplément and teaching practice records.
A French or Belgian partner may use a multilingual form with the acte de naissance; a partner from Congo, Cameroon or Côte d’Ivoire usually needs a full translation and possibly legalisation of the original. Give the HSE three months’ notice.
French citizens naturalising in Ireland, and Irish parents of children born in France, need translated civil records. The Passport Office asks for a certified translation into English or Irish of any foreign birth or marriage certificate.
Nurses, physiotherapists and social care workers trained in France, Belgium or francophone Africa register with NMBI or CORU. Both ask for signed, stamped translations with contact details, which our certificate carries.
French authorities usually want a traducteur expert près une cour d’appel, a court-appointed translator in France. Check before ordering; for employers, landlords, schools and many private uses our English to French translation can be used.
€29.95 per page for French, the same as every other language. Most certificates fit on a single page (300 source words). Digital delivery is free; a hard copy by tracked post can be added at checkout.
