About this translation
In France, birth certificates are issued by the town hall (mairie) of the place of birth or, for French nationals born abroad, by the central civil registry office in Nantes. The full copy (copie intégrale) reproduces the whole record, including marginal notes such as marriage, divorce or PACS; the extract, with or without parentage, only gives the main details.
When do you need it translated?
A visa or immigration application (settling, working, permanent residence)
Getting married abroad
Studying or working in an English-speaking country
Applying for another country's citizenship or passport
Our translation
The English translation covers the whole record: the person's details, parentage, marginal notes, the town hall stamp and the registrar's signature. Versions distinguish the extract from the full copy, and certificates issued by the town hall of Nice from those of other towns: choose the one that matches your document. If the foreign authority requires it, a legalisation can be added as an option when you order.
