Certified, or standard — which do you need?
The price for a standard page (1,800 characters including spaces) is 900 CZK for French. The difference is whether your document needs the round stamp of a Czech sworn translator.
Certified (sworn) translation
- Round stamp of a Czech sworn translator registered with the Ministry of Justice
- Accepted by Czech authorities, the registry office, courts and notaries
- Typically: birth or marriage certificates, diplomas, corporate documents, powers of attorney
Standard translation
- No sworn certification or stamp
- For internal business use, correspondence, marketing material
- Suitable when the document isn't being submitted to any authority
A French notaire's certification isn't the same as a Czech certified translation
If your document was already certified or notarised in France, that's a different thing from what Czech institutions require. For use here in Czechia, you'll need a translation from a Czech sworn translator — the round stamp and clause is what the registry office, courts and notaries actually check for, regardless of any French certification already on the document.
Which documents do we translate most often?
Most requests we see are French documents coming into Czechia — for international families, French companies setting up here, and professionals with French qualifications.
Family and residence documents
Birth certificate
For the Czech registry office, family reunification, or registering a child born in France.
Marriage certificate
For recognising a marriage in Czechia or residence permit applications.
French criminal record extract
Commonly required for work and residence permit applications in Czechia.
We often see international families — one partner French, living here in Czechia — who need a French birth or marriage certificate translated for the registry office. It's usually a straightforward certified translation, but we always check exactly what the specific office needs before we start.

Which direction do you need?
The direction we handle most
French documents that need to work with a Czech authority, notary, employer, or the commercial register — the most common request we get for this language pair.
For use in France
Less common for this audience, but we handle it too — just note that French institutions usually prefer a translator sworn directly in France for official matters. We'll advise based on where the document is going.

What do people ask most about French documents?
Is a Czech certified translation of my French document valid for Czech authorities?
Yes. A certified translation carries the round stamp and clause of a Czech sworn translator appointed by a Czech court, and is accepted by Czech authorities, the registry office, courts, and notaries. This is the standard route for a French document you need to use here in the Czech Republic.
My document was already certified by a notaire in France — is that enough?
Not on its own. A French notaire’s certification confirms something different from what Czech authorities require. For use in the Czech Republic, you’ll still need a certified translation from a Czech sworn translator, regardless of any notarisation already done in France.
What if I need my document recognised in France instead?
French institutions usually require or strongly prefer a traducteur assermenté sworn directly in France, rather than a translation certified abroad — this applies especially to naturalisation, residence permits, marriage, diploma recognition, and court proceedings. If your document is heading to France rather than staying in Czechia, we recommend checking with the receiving institution first.
How much does a certified translation between French and Czech cost?
The standard price for translation between French and Czech is 900 CZK per standard page (1,800 characters including spaces). Express turnaround within 24 hours carries a 50% surcharge on the total price.
How long does a certified translation between French and Czech take?
Standard orders are completed within 2–3 business days. If you need the document sooner, we offer express turnaround within 24 hours for a 50% surcharge on the total price.
