Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is it possible to get a sworn translation in Lyon within 24 hours?
Yes, for standard documents of one to two pages. Our network of sworn translators registered with the Cour d'appel de Lyon and other French courts can prioritise your order for next-day delivery. Availability depends on the language pair requested.
Does the Rhône prefecture accept express sworn translations?
Absolutely. The prefecture does not distinguish between standard and express translation — what matters is that the translation was produced by a judicial expert registered with a French Court of Appeal. Express delivery does not affect legal validity.
Can I order outside business hours?
Yes. You can upload your documents and submit your request at any time. We process new express orders during business hours and will confirm the delivery schedule as soon as your order is received.
What if I need my translation on a Saturday?
Weekend delivery is possible for certain language pairs at an additional surcharge. Contact us directly to confirm availability for Saturday or Sunday delivery in Lyon.
