Certified French apostille translation notarisation and worldwide acceptance

Apostille requirements can feel complex—especially when documents move between legal systems. We simplify it. Our certified French translators prepare accurate translations that mirror your source formatting, include a signed translator’s declaration, and then arrange notarisation with a UK notary public. Finally, we secure apostille certification via the UK FCDO, recognised by 120+ Hague Convention jurisdictions.

Typical timeline: translation in 24–48 hours; notarisation the same or next business day; FCDO apostille generally 1–3 weeks depending on workload and courier options. Need only part of the process? We can translate already apostilled documents, or provide certification and apostille after translation—whatever fits your case.

Pricing is straightforward: certified translations from £29.90 per page (or £0.05 per word for standard translation), plus notary and FCDO legalisation fees. As a global agency, we follow stringent QA, are ATA members, and maintain BBB A+ standards—so your documents meet expectations in the UK and worldwide.

Whether you are relocating from France to the UK, opening a branch in Canada, or applying for studies in the US, authorities often require an apostilled and translated document. We handle diplomas, transcripts, birth and marriage certificates, police clearances, powers of attorney, company incorporation papers, articles of association, and more—French to English and English to French.

Our certified French translations include a translator’s statement on letterhead, with date, name, and signature, formatted to match the original. We then coordinate notarisation and obtain apostille certification from the FCDO Legalisation Office, ensuring your file is ready for British authorities and internationally recognised in fellow Hague Convention countries.
