Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Does the Nord prefecture accept online sworn translations?

Yes. The prefecture checks that the translation was produced by a judicial expert registered with a French Court of Appeal, bearing their signature, stamp and registration number. Express ordering does not affect legal validity.

Can your translations be used for both French and Belgian procedures?

Yes, in many cases. Our network includes French sworn translators (certified by the Cour d'appel de Douai) and Belgian sworn translators (NRTII-registered). For cross-border procedures, we advise on the most appropriate certification for your specific case.
