About this translation
Since May 2025, French apostilles have been issued by notaires, in electronic form and verifiable in an online register. Older ones were issued by the public prosecutor's office of a court of appeal. Written in French, the apostille certifies the signature and capacity of the official who signed your civil status record, court decision, diploma or notarial deed.

Our translation
We translate every field of the apostille: the signatory's name and capacity, the date, the number and, for an electronic apostille, the verification details. If the foreign authority requires it, legalisation is available as an option when you order.
