The interpreter helping you to file a police report : step by step 

• Are you a victim of a theft, robbery or other offence or accident in Paris?
• You don't speak French and you need to contact the police and file a report ?
• Follow our step by step : 

1. You must hire a certified face-to-face interpreter  to accompany you. Our interpreters are available 24 / 7, just write us a mail for a quote.     

2. ​Accompanied by the interpreter, you must go to the police station in person. It does not matter in which city the offence occurred, you can report in Paris and in any city in France.  Online statement is not available in France, there is only online pre-statement option.   

3. At the reception desk of the police station, the interpreter will help you to explain a brief summary of the crime or incident, after which you will wait to be received by the Police Officer     

4. After a short wait at the reception, the Police Officer will invite you to his office and you will d escribe the incident in detail. At this point, the role of the interpreter accompanying you is important, as he or she will help you to accurately convey all the details by translating the story of your accident into French.     

5. Helped by the interpreter, you will read and sign your statement (it will be in French) and receive a copy of it. You're done. From the time you arrive at the police station to the time you leave, it usually takes between 1 and 2 hours to file a report, depending on the seriousness of the offence.
