Certified French death certificate translation for UK and worldwide use

A death certificate is a vital record used in probate proceedings, inheritance matters, insurance claims, and bank or pension closures. Our certified French translators render names, dates, cause of death, registry details, and official seals with meticulous accuracy so the translation can be reviewed with confidence by UK authorities, including the Home Office, courts, and registrars.

Every project includes a Certificate of Accuracy, translator signature, date, and company letterhead. Formatting mirrors the source as closely as possible to retain the original structure, improving clarity for caseworkers and administrators. Where required, we provide bilingual notes for uncommon abbreviations or regional civil status terms to avoid delays in review.

We understand that many cases involve moving from one country to another. Our certified translations are accepted worldwide, making them suitable for processes not only in Britain but also abroad with foreign consulates, insurers, and financial institutions. If notarisation or apostille is requested by a non-UK authority, we will advise on the most efficient path to compliance.

Prices start at £29.90 per certified page and standard document translation from £0.05 per word. Express delivery within 24 hours is available for urgent timelines, and we offer secure digital files with an option for printed copies by post.

Our team includes ATA-affiliated linguists, and our certified translations are widely recognised, including by USCIS in the United States, ensuring seamless use when dealing with international authorities.

Our process is designed for clarity and compliance. Upload a clear scan or photo of the French death certificate, including stamps or annotations on all pages. We confirm scope, price, and timeline upfront. A dedicated project manager oversees quality checks, terminology, and formatting so the translation meets the standards expected by British authorities and international institutions.

You will receive a certified PDF including the translation, Certificate of Accuracy, and translator details. Secure e-signatures and a digital stamp are included. If a physical copy is required for a specific application, we can ship printed, signed sets globally via tracked post or courier. Data is handled under strict confidentiality and GDPR-aligned processes.

Urgent cases are common in estates and legal matters. We offer 24-hour turnaround when feasible without compromising quality. Where notarisation or legalisation (apostille) is requested by a foreign jurisdiction, we provide guidance to streamline the steps. Our aim is to help documents pass review the first time, saving you weeks of administrative back-and-forth.

For international moves, our translations support applications across borders—useful when settling affairs in one country while filing paperwork in another. If you are coordinating ancillary paperwork, such as identity verification, see our passport translation service. For consistent, multi-document handling, our team can create shared glossaries to keep names, places, and registry references uniform.

Clear pricing and transparent communication are central to our approach. Certified pages are £29.90 each, and standard translation is £0.05 per word. Before we begin, you receive a written summary of deliverables, acceptance standards, and delivery timing. This reduces uncertainty and ensures the translation is ready for its intended purpose.
