French Isn't Just One Variant
Whether your document is from France, Haiti, West or Central Africa, or the Maghreb, it's matched to a translator who works in that variant specifically. French varies by country and region, and we match your document to the right variant:
- Metropolitan French (France)
- the reference variant for most legal terminology and civil registry conventions.
- Haitian French
- most official Haitian documents, including birth and marriage certificates, are issued in French rather than Haitian Creole; we translate them accordingly. If your document is actually in Haitian Creole (Kreyòl), a distinct language from French, tell us so we can confirm whether we can accommodate it.
- Maghreb French (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia)
- translated with attention to vocabulary that differs from Metropolitan French, and to documents that mix French with Arabic.
- Canadian French
- Canadian and Québécois French have their own vocabulary, spelling, and document conventions; see our dedicated French (Canadian) Translation page instead.
What that means for your document
West & Central African French (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, DRC, and others): translated by linguists familiar with each country's civil registry format and terminology.
Treating all French as one undifferentiated language is a common mistake, and it's where translations run into trouble. Vocabulary, spelling, and document conventions shift meaningfully between Metropolitan France, Haiti, West and Central Africa, and the Maghreb, and a translator unfamiliar with your document's specific region can produce a technically readable translation that still looks inconsistent to a careful reviewer. Matching your document to a translator who works in the correct regional variant from the start avoids that risk entirely.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a French translation.
How long does a certified French translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified French translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for French-language documents.
Do you handle different varieties of French, like Haitian, African, or Metropolitan?
Yes. Our translators are experienced with regional variations across France, Haiti, West and Central Africa, and the Maghreb, and translate accurately regardless of which one your document uses.
My document is in Haitian Creole, not French. Can you translate it?
Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) is a distinct language from French, not a French dialect. Most official Haitian documents are issued in French, but if yours is specifically in Kreyòl, tell us so we can confirm whether we can accommodate it.
I need a Canadian French translation. Is this the right page?
Canadian and Québécois French have their own vocabulary and document conventions. Our French (Canadian) Translation page is built for that variant specifically.
What documents do you most commonly translate from French?
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, and diplomas are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from French.
Can a bilingual friend or family member translate my French documents instead?
No. USCIS and most agencies require an independent, certified translator, not a relative or friend. A self-interested translation is typically rejected.
Do you translate French legal and business documents too, not just personal ones?
Yes. We translate contracts, corporate records, and legal filings from French, in addition to personal and immigration documents.
