French translation services at INFINITYGRO work in both directions – English to French for documents leaving India, and French to English for records arriving here. You receive a certified translation by email and a signed copy by courier or at our Delhi office. If a French prefecture or mairie asks for a traducteur assermenté (court-sworn translator), we tell you before you order.

Details our French translators never miss
- Accents change meaning. “marié” and “marie” are different words; é, è, ê, ç and ï are checked one by one.
- Name order. French forms print the NOM in capitals; we keep the passport spelling and order for Indian names.
- Numbers. French uses a decimal comma and a space as thousand separator – figures in contracts are converted carefully, never retyped by guesswork.
- Regional French. Quebec, Belgian and Swiss usage differ from Paris French; we write for the reader’s country.
- Official titles. Mairie, préfecture, tribunal judiciaire – institution names are kept in French with an English gloss.
The largest group using our French translation services are students admitted to French business and engineering schools, followed by Canadian immigration applicants. Because the same desk handles apostille, our French translation services can return the translated transcript and the apostilled degree together.
Exporters to Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal or Côte d’Ivoire also use our French translation services for product catalogues, certificates of origin and tender replies.
Where it is usedWhere French translation services from India are accepted
Acceptance depends on the receiving office. Typical requirements:
| Country / office | What they usually ask for |
|---|---|
| France – préfecture, mairie, OFII | Frequently a sworn translation by a traducteur assermenté listed by a French court of appeal. |
| France – Campus France & universities | A certified translation is often accepted; check your university’s list. |
| Canada – IRCC and Quebec | Certified translation plus translator declaration; Quebec may ask for a translator recognised by its own order. Confirm first. |
| Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg | Certified or sworn translation depending on the canton or commune. |
| India – courts, banks, passport office | French records into English, certified and notarised on request. |
Plain, certified or notarised French translation?
| Level | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Plain | A faithful translation in the same layout, without a declaration. |
| Certified | Signed statement by the translator that the text is complete and correct, with INFINITYGRO's stamp. |
| Notarised | A notary attests the translator's statement – for offices that want legal confirmation. |
| With apostille | Notary, SDM and MEA stamps on the translation, or embassy legalisation for non-Hague countries. |
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Canada all accept the MEA apostille on Indian documents. The apostille confirms the Indian signature; whether a translation must be sworn is a separate rule set by the French-speaking office.
