French Notary Services

French Notary Services

We’re fully qualified notaries, with years of experience in notarising documents for all over the world, including France. Our comprehensive range of French Notary Services include notarising a wide range of legal documents for both individuals and businesses. So whether you’re emigrating, purchasing your dream home in the South of France or expanding your business into this affluent region we are here to help.

Legalisation of Documents for Use in France

The legalisation process carried out by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office is the official confirmation that the signature, seal or stamp appearing on your documents are genuine and legal. As they are part of the Hauge Convention, documents for use in France only require a certification or Apostille from the FCO. We can ensure all your documents are submitted correctly and liaise with the Foreign Office on your behalf to streamline the process as much as possible.

Certified Translation of French Documents

We are able to translate English documents into French and vice versa to ensure your business deals, property documents and personal legal documents are always provided accurately in a language you understand. We can also provide translation into over 200 other languages, plus expert transcriptionists, so you can always have clear communication in international legal matters. Our experts will also advise you on whether your translated document also requires legalisation and/or notarisation.
