In France, official translations are produced by a traducteur assermenté — a sworn translator on a court of appeal’s experts list. For préfectures, mairies, and courts this is effectively the only accepted format. MovaPro arranges sworn French translations remotely: you send scans, we return a translation under the sworn translator’s stamp.

When you need a sworn French translation

  • residence-permit (titre de séjour) and naturalization dossiers at the préfecture;
  • marriage at the mairie, transcription of civil-status acts;
  • court matters, powers of attorney, inheritance;
  • certain OFII procedures and recognition of qualifications.

At the same time, many private recipients — employers, landlords, insurers — accept a notarized translation from Ukraine at a substantially lower cost. Ask your institution first, then order — we’ll help you phrase the question.

The route for Ukrainian documents

  1. Apostille in Ukraine on the original (Ministry of Education, Justice, or Foreign Affairs, depending on the document).
  2. Sworn translation of the document together with its apostille into French.
  3. Submission: the scan immediately, the stamped paper original by post within France.

Pricing depends on the document and volume — send a scan and we’ll quote within 15 minutes. General preparation rules: Documents for France; apostille details: Legalization and apostille.

Frequently asked questions

What is a traducteur assermenté?

A sworn translator entered on the official experts list of a French court of appeal. Their stamp gives the translation official status recognized by all French state authorities.

Which French institutions require a sworn translation?

Préfectures (residence permits, naturalization), mairies (marriage, civil-status acts), courts, OFII. Private organizations, employers, and some universities accept a notarized translation from Ukraine — check your institution's requirements in advance.

Do Ukrainian documents need an apostille for France?

Yes — for official documents (certificates, diplomas, police clearance) the apostille is affixed in Ukraine before translation, and the apostille is translated together with the document.

I'm already in France — how do I order?

Remotely: send us a scan, we agree the price and timeline, and the sworn translator completes the work. You get the scan immediately and the stamped paper original by post.
