About this translation
In the UK, birth certificates are issued by the General Register Office or the local register office in England and Wales, and by the equivalent bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The full (long-form) certificate is a copy of the register entry and names the parents; the short form only gives the child's details.
When do you need it translated?
A residence permit application at the préfecture, which British nationals moving to France have needed since Brexit
Getting married at the town hall (mairie) or entering a PACS
Applying for French nationality
Recording the birth of a French national's child in the French civil registry
Our translation
We translate the whole certificate: every box of the register entry, handwritten details, stamps, the registrar's signature and the warnings printed on the security paper. Versions differ by nation, format (long or short) and orientation (landscape or portrait), so choose the one that looks like your certificate. Most French procedures ask for the long form, which names the parents: if in doubt, check with the office handling your file.
