About this translation

A French family record book (livret de famille) is handed over by the town hall when a couple marries or, for unmarried parents, when their first child is born. It contains extracts of the family's civil status records: the spouses' marriage certificate, the children's birth certificates and, where relevant, death certificates, each bearing the registrar's stamp and signature.

When do you need it translated?

Our translation

The English translation reproduces the extract as it appears in the booklet: names, dates and places, parentage, added notes, stamp and signature. Versions match the three kinds of extracts found in the booklet (marriage, birth and death): choose the one for the page you need translated. If the foreign authority asks for it, a legalisation can be added as an option when you order.
