Translation Agency in Nice and the French Riviera: Official Sworn Translations (Traduction Assermentée)

The Côte d'Azur, with its main centers Nice, Cannes, and Menton, is not only a tourist paradise but also a region with a large number of international residents. Ukrainians here are actively engaging in studies, employment, and business. However, even on the sunniest coast, administrative formalities are inevitable.

Obtaining a residence permit (Titre de séjour) at the Préfecture des Alpes-Maritimes in Nice, registering with CAF for housing assistance, or exchanging a driver's license require documents that comply with strict French standards. Standard notarized translations from Ukraine are often rejected here. French authorities require a sworn translation (Traduction assermentée). "Admiral" Translation Agency works remotely across the entire French Riviera, providing documents certified by experts at the French Court of Appeal.

Which Documents We Translate in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes

We know the specific requirements of the local administrative bodies of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Main document categories:

• For the Préfecture des Alpes-Maritimes (Visas and Legalization): This is the primary state institution for foreigners. For a Titre de séjour, Protection temporaire, or citizenship, a sworn translation is required for: birth and marriage certificates, police clearance certificates (Casier judiciaire), and registry office extracts.

• Social and Financial Sector (CAF, CPAM): For receiving assistance (APL, family benefits) from CAF or obtaining a Carte Vitale from CPAM (Ameli). We translate birth certificates for children and various attestations.

• Education (Nice and Cannes Universities): Admission to the Université Côte d'Azur (UCA) or other educational institutions. Professional translation of diplomas, school certificates, and transcripts in accordance with ENIC-NARIC France standards.

• Drivers (ANTS): The procedure for exchanging a Ukrainian driver's license (permis de conduire) for a French one is done online via ANTS. We perform the special digital sworn translation required for uploading to the portal.

• Legal and Notarial: Real estate transactions in Nice, Cannes, or Monaco require sworn translation of marriage/divorce certificates for the French notary (Notaire).

Translation Specifics in France: Why Traduction Assermentée?

The French system is based on the institution of the sworn translator (Traducteur assermenté), who is accredited by the Court of Appeal.

Sworn Translation (Traduction Assermentée) Only documents bearing the official seal, signature, and registration number of a French sworn translator are accepted by local Town Halls (Mairie), Prefectures, and courts. Translations made by an ordinary translator and certified by a Ukrainian notary do not have legal force in France. We cooperate with a network of sworn translators accredited near the Courts of Appeal, guaranteeing the legitimacy of your documents in the Alpes-Maritimes department.

Apostille (Apostille) In most cases for CAF or Protection temporaire, a sworn translation of a new-style certificate is sufficient. However, for specific notarial or court documents, the Préfecture may demand an Apostille stamp on the original. We offer comprehensive assistance with placing the Apostille in Ukraine, performing the sworn translation, and sending the final package to you.
