About this translation
In France, a religious wedding may only take place after the civil marriage. At the end of the ceremony at the town hall (mairie), the registrar therefore gives the couple a certificate of civil celebration (certificat de célébration civile) to show to the minister of religion. It gives the names of the spouses, the date and town of the marriage, and bears the town hall stamp and the registrar's signature.
When do you need it translated?
A religious ceremony abroad, when the place of worship asks for proof of the civil marriage
A religious ceremony in France led by an English-speaking minister
A procedure abroad requiring proof of the celebration, if the organisation accepts this document
Our translation
The translation covers the whole document: text, names, date, stamp and signature. For official procedures abroad, such as a visa or an immigration file, the full copy of the marriage certificate is generally what is requested. If the foreign authority requires it, legalisation can be added as an option when you order.
