About this translation
In France, a marriage certificate (acte de mariage) is drawn up by the registrar of the town hall (mairie) where the wedding took place, and copies are issued by that same town hall. The full copy (copie intégrale) gives the complete identity of both spouses (dates and places of birth, occupations, addresses), their parents' names, the witnesses, whether a marriage contract was signed, and any marginal notes added later, such as a divorce or a change of matrimonial regime.
When do you need it translated?
A spouse or partner visa, or an immigration file, in an English-speaking country
Registering your marriage abroad or having it recognised there
Changing your name with a foreign authority, bank or employer
Divorce, inheritance or property matters handled outside France
Our translation
We translate the entire copy: the body of the certificate, the marginal notes, the town hall stamp and the registrar's signature. The layout depends on the issuing town, hence several versions: choose your town, or “Other cities”. If the foreign authority requires it, legalisation can be added as an option when you order.
