Official Translation From French To English For Your Documents
Which French papers come in most? Each card is one kind of French paper, translated line by line, with stamps and handwritten notes included. A birth certificate French translation is the request we get most often.
Birth Certificates
An acte de naissance comes as a full copy or a short extract. The full copy, called copie intégrale, shows more. We translate the one your office asked for, margin notes included.
Marriage And Family Books
An acte de mariage lists both partners and their parents. A livret de famille has many pages. We translate every page that has an entry and skip the blank ones.
Degrees And Grade Reports
French grades are often out of 20. We keep that scale exactly as printed. For jobs and work passes, our diploma translation for MOM covers the rest.
Court And Legal Papers
A jugement de divorce or a court order uses formal legal words. We keep every term exact. Nothing is shortened, because one missing line can change the meaning.
Company Papers
An extrait Kbis shows a French company's registration. Banks in Singapore may ask for it. Company names stay in French, so they match the official register.
Mixed Language Papers
Swiss and Belgian papers can mix French with German or Dutch. We translate each part. If your file is mostly German, our German document translation team takes the lead.
French To English Legal Translation: Small Details That Matter
French papers hide small traps. A comma, an accent or a date can change the meaning, especially in court and contract papers. Here is what we watch for in certified French translation, and how we fix it.
| On your document | Why it is tricky | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Accents: é, è, ç | Dropping one makes a new name | We copy names exactly, accents kept |
| Dates: 05/04/1990 | It means 5 April, not May 4 | We write the month in words |
| Decimal comma: 12,5 | 12,5 means twelve and a half | We use a point: 12.5 |
| Nom d'usage | A name in use, often a married name | We label it clearly |
| Mentions marginales | Side notes add later changes | We translate every note |
| Grades out of 20 | 14/20 is a good mark | We keep the scale as printed |
If a court wants the translator to swear an oath, we arrange a sworn translator in Singapore.
Native Translators Behind Our French To English Translation Service
Your French translation is done by native French speakers who write strong English. They know papers from France, Quebec, Belgium and West Africa. This team is part of our certified document translation for ICA.
We also work the other way. Singapore papers can go into French for an office in France, Canada or Africa. Papers going to Spain or Mexico instead? Our English to Spanish translation covers those. Each draft is checked twice.
One rule matters most. An office in France often wants a sworn French translator, called a traducteur assermenté. A translation made in Singapore may not count there. So ask that office first. We help you read its list.

Notarise Your French Translation If Needed
ICA wants a private translation notarised, and so do many French and EU offices. MOM or a local school may take a plain certified copy. We set up the notary and the SAL authentication each notarised paper has needed since 2019, from S$162.20 per document, and can courier paper copies.
French Translation Prices In Singapore
French pages start from S$25 each. A one-page birth certificate French translation is often the simplest job. These are starting prices. Before you pay, you always get a fixed quote for your exact papers.
What decides your final price
Number Of Pages
Price is per page. A one-page certificate costs less than a ten-page court judgment. Blank pages are never charged.
Notarisation
Many Singapore offices, including ICA, want the translation notarised. With the SAL authentication it now needs, this starts from S$162.20 per document. Ask us if yours needs it.
Papers Going To France
France accepts apostilles. On a notarised paper, the SAL step in your price can add one. Ask the French office first, as many want a translator sworn in France.
Certified True Copy
Some offices want a certified copy of the French original joined to the translation. With notary and SAL, budget from S$172.20 per document.
Express Service
Need it today? Express puts 50% on top of the translation fee. Many single-page French papers can be done the same day.
Courier Delivery
Want printed, stamped copies delivered to your door? We courier them anywhere in Singapore from S$15.

Frequently Asked Questions
01How much does a French birth certificate cost to translate?
Translation starts from S$25 per page, and most birth certificates are one page. Notarisation, including SAL authentication, adds from S$162.20 per document if your office wants it. We send a fixed quote before you pay.
02Will ICA accept my French translation?
ICA accepts a translation that is notarised by a notary public, among other routes. We arrange the notary for you. No translator can promise approval, because ICA decides each case. We make sure the translation is complete and matches your passport.
03My passport spells my name without accents. Which form do you use?
We copy the name as the French paper prints it, accents included. Then we add a short note showing the passport form. The officer can see both versions belong to the same person.
04Can I send a photo, or do you need the original?
A clear photo or scan is enough to translate. Make sure every corner and stamp is visible. If an office wants a certified true copy of the original, we arrange it from S$172.20 per document, including notary and SAL, and then we need to see the original.
05My paper is going to an office in France. Will your translation work there?
Ask the French office first. Many offices in France want a translator sworn in France. If they accept a Singapore translation, we notarise it, and the SAL step that follows can add an apostille.
06Do you translate French tax notices and payslips?
Yes. An avis d'imposition is a yearly French tax notice that shows income and tax paid. Our tax record translation keeps every amount and date exact. Decimal commas become points, so no figure is misread.
07What if I find a mistake after I get the file?
Tell us right away. If the mistake is ours, we fix it free of charge. That is why we send a draft first, so you can catch spelling issues before the notary signs.
08My document is from Senegal or Morocco. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Our translators read French from Africa, Canada and Europe. Each country uses its own forms and words, so we check where your paper was issued before we start.
09Do I need to translate the apostille on my French document?
Yes, if the apostille is attached, it should be translated too. It is a form in French that names the signing official and the authority that confirmed it. We translate each numbered field so the officer can read the full chain.
10Is a translation by a sworn translator in France accepted by ICA?
A traducteur assermenté is recognised by French courts, but ICA's list does not name sworn translators. What ICA looks for is an embassy translation, or a private one carrying a notary public's seal or embassy attestation. A French sworn translation may still need one of those steps here.
11My Canadian document is in English and French. Do I need a translation?
Often not. Many Canadian federal papers already carry full English text, and offices usually accept them. Quebec civil records are often in French only, though, and those need translating. Send a photo and we will tell you which case yours is.
