What to know

What to know about a French divorce certificate translation

Which French divorce papers you may hold

French divorce papers reach us from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Francophone Africa. In France it is a jugement de divorce from the court, or a deed filed with a notary when both spouses agreed, and the divorce is also noted in the margin of the marriage record. Luxembourg's Tribunal d'arrondissement issues a Certificat 39. Cameroon, Burkina Faso and Madagascar issue a jugement de divorce, and Burkina Faso's usually runs two or three pages. Niger issues an extrait d'acte de divorce. A Swiss family certificate is not accepted in its place. We translate the version you were issued, front and back.

Where the translation is accepted

Texliff's certified French translations are accepted by USCIS, the National Visa Center, state agencies, DMVs, schools and universities, courts and more. USCIS officers look for the date the divorce became final and match both spouses' names against the marriage record and the passport. Courts read the operative ruling and any support or custody terms. Clerks recording a remarriage want the court and the date. The signed statement of accuracy is what each of them files with the translation.

Upload the judgment, receive a certified PDF

Send a photo or a scan of every page of the judgment or certificate, front and back. The word count sets the price and it shows before you order. A native French translator who works on court and civil records does the translation, and a second linguist checks the names, dates and the finality line. You follow the order in your dashboard. The signed PDF comes with a Certificate of Accuracy, a mailed hard copy is available on request, and rush options are available.

What the translator checks on a French divorce record

Names keep the order and capitals of the record, and a wife's birth name stays marked as such after née. Dates written out in words become plain English dates, and the date of the judgment stays apart from the date it became final. The tribunal's name, the case number, the greffier's title and the enforcement formula are copied exactly, and stamps are described where they sit. Margin notes about the marriage record (mentions marginales) are translated in full, because that is where a later change is written.

FAQ

French divorce certificate questions, answered.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Is a French divorce certificate translation accepted by USCIS?

Yes. Every certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements, and the same format is accepted by courts, universities, and licensing boards.

02How are French names spelled in the English translation?

French civil records frequently print family names in full capitals and may include multiple given names; the translation keeps the complete name as registered. French uses the Latin alphabet with accents and ligatures (é, è, ç, œ) that must be preserved in names exactly as issued.

03How are dates converted?

Dates are day-first and often written out in words on civil records — each is converted to an unambiguous English date.

04How much does a French divorce certificate translation cost?

Pricing is by word count, not by page — a short document costs less than a dense one, and you see the exact total before paying. Certified translation starts at $24.95.
