With direct sailings from Rosslare to Cherbourg and Dunkirk, Wexford has close links with France, and French documents regularly arrive with families, workers and students. We translate actes de naissance, livrets de famille, diplomas and jugements into English, each signed and stamped with a reference number. French-speaking clients in Wexford town, Gorey or Kilmore Quay order online and get the translation back by email.
Co. Wexford had 1,177 French speakers at home in Census 2022, a county-level count that includes many Irish-born children speaking French with a parent.
French at home in Wexford is spoken by Irish-French families, French people who moved to the sunny south-east, researchers and professionals, and residents from francophone Africa. Documents from France and Belgium are EU records that may come with a multilingual form, while those from DR Congo, Cameroon or Côte d'Ivoire are non-EU records that may need an apostille or legalisation for some Irish uses. We translate both kinds with the same care.

French families moving to Wexford by car often bring a livret de famille and school reports. We translate them for school enrolment, the Civil Registration Service and employers, page by page.
Scientists from France joining Teagasc at Johnstown Castle may need a doctorat certificate, transcripts and references in English. We translate them for HR files and for family members' applications.
School leavers from France who apply to SETU's Wexford campus for art, business or social care translate the diplôme du baccalauréat and relevé de notes. We leave the marks out of twenty exactly as the French board issued them.
Doctors with French-language medical degrees joining Wexford General Hospital register with the Medical Council, which wants translations officially stamped with the translator's name and address. We include both.
Copie intégrale d’acte de mariage
A French citizen settling near Rosslare with a non-EU spouse may apply for EU Treaty Rights residence. The copie intégrale of the acte de mariage suits this better than the livret de famille, and the mairie can often add the EU multilingual form.
Relevé de notes
Students from France applying to SETU's Wexford campus for early childhood or social care courses often submit transcripts from a lycée professionnel or a French university. Every unité d'enseignement is translated with its credits and its mark on the French 20-point scale.
Permis de conduire
Families who drive off the Cherbourg ferry at Rosslare often need Irish motor insurance within weeks. An insurer may ask for the French permis and the relevé d'information from the previous insurer in English, and we translate both, including the bonus-malus coefficient.
Before moving to Wexford by ferry, ask your French insurer for the relevé d'information, which proves your claims record and bonus-malus coefficient. Irish insurers often price policies on it, and it is much harder to obtain once the contract is cancelled. Send it with the permis scan and we can translate both in one order.
