🏛 Our Step-by-Step Guide 1: Signing a notary deed in France with a certified interpreter


1️⃣ Step 1 : Booking an Appointment with the Notary : First, you need to contact a notary and schedule an appointment. Pay attention, some legal acts strictly require the presence of a sworn translator if one of the parties does not speak French ! 

⚠️ T he presence of a sworn translator is absolutely necessary in France for the following notarial acts:

- 🏡 Signing a real estate sales deed (authentic deed of sale)  with a non-French speaker
- 📄 Promise to sell (preliminary sales agreement)​with a non-French speaker
- ✍️ Drafting and signing a power of attorney (notarial mandate)​with a non-French speaker
- 💍 Reading and signing a marriage contract ​with a non-French speaker
- 🏳 Signing a PACS (civil solidarity pact) ​with a non-French speaker

2️⃣ Step 2 : Preparing the Necessary Documents :  The notary will inform you about the documents required, such as an ID, proof of residence, and any documents related to the transaction (marriage contract, property sale, donation, etc.). If these documents are in a foreign language, they must be translated by a sworn translator in France.

3️⃣ Step 3 : Arriving at the Notary’s Office, than Reading & Understanding the Act Before signing : the notary will read the act aloud to explain its legal implications. If one of the parties does not understand French, the translator will provide a real-time translation to ensure full comprehension

4️⃣ Step 4 : Signing the Act : Once all parties agree, you will sign the document, along with the notary, the translator may also need to sign a statement confirming their role in the process

6️⃣ Step 5 : Receiving Certified Copies : After signing, the notary will provide certified copies of the act. These documents may be needed for administrative procedures or international use. If necessary, they can also be translated by a sworn translator.

Your questions 

Can I make a statement/file a police report online ? 

  • You can make a pre-statement on the Service-Public.fr website, but you will still need to go to the police accompanied by an interpreter to complete the report filing procedure.

How much does it cost to book an interpreter in Paris ? 

  • The hourly rate for face to face interpreter services in Paris ranges from €60 to €80 per hour. ​Our interpreters offer the most equitable prices to accompany you to the police, to a lawyer or to the prefecture, contact us for an estimate of the cost of your order.
  • Usually an interpreter accompaniment to the police is invoiced at a half day rate, meaning you have to be ready to pay interpreting services around 250 - 300 euros. The same rate will be applied for the accompaniment by an interpreter to the consulate of your country. 
  • And in case if you need an English to French interpreter to go to a notary to sign a notarial act, in Paris, the price for face-to-face interpreting services will be also from € 350 and up. 
  • If you need an interpreter in Paris to attend an appointment with the prefecture or the cityhall - the cost will also be around 250 - 280 euros per appointment. Write us an email to get an estimate of the cost of interpreting services for your specific case, we will do our best to offer you the best price.

In France, can I make a statement to the police in English, or booking of a translator is mandatory?  

  • In some cases, the police station will provide you with an interpreter. But in most cases (especially when you have to report your accident urgently), the French police will not provide interpreting services neither accept your statement in English, so it is better for you to book an interpreter in advance.

How to get the English translation of my police report / statement  ? 

  • If you need an English version of the police report for your insurance or other purposes, be aware that French commissariats usually only give victims a report in French.
    But don't worry, our certified translator in Paris will translate the protocol of your statement within 24 hours. This English translation will contain the sworn translator's signature and seal. You can use this English version of your statement report for your insurance company.
