Our translation

The French translation covers every element of the certificate: header, identity, result of the check, references, stamps, signatures and any handwritten notes. If the certificate carries a photo, the translation says so, along with any stamp over it. Before applying for the certificate, check with the authority handling your file how recent it must be.
