We translate between French and English, Hindi and other languages for individuals and companies in Kolkata. Documents are sent to us as scans, translated by native French speakers, certified with our stamp and statement of accuracy, and returned digitally the same week in most cases.
Authorities in the French-speaking world generally require a sworn translator registered with their own courts, so we route these files to a translator on the correct national register rather than certifying them in India.
As a trading hub, Kolkata generates commercial paperwork: certificates of origin, invoices, bills of lading and chamber of commerce attestations for buyers who will not release payment without them.
If the translated document also needs a stamp, records issued in West Bengal pass through the Home and Hill Affairs Department before the MEA can apostille them. Whether the translation is attached before or after that step depends on the destination country, and getting it the wrong way round means paying twice.
Questions we are asked most
Are your French translations certified?
Yes. Every French translation is delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy, the translator's credentials and our stamp, bound to a copy of the source document. Where the receiving country requires a sworn or court-registered translator instead, we route the file to one.
Which documents do you translate into and out of French?
Civil records such as birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates; academic records including degrees, transcripts and mark sheets; police clearance certificates; medical reports; financial statements; and commercial documents from contracts to certificates of incorporation.
Do you also arrange apostille or embassy attestation on French documents?
Yes, and it is usually better to run both together. The order matters: some countries want the translation attached before legalisation, others want the original legalised first and then translated. We confirm the correct sequence for your destination before anything is submitted.
Do I have to come to your office in Kolkata?
No. Almost every file is handled remotely. You send a scan through the quote form, we confirm the price, and the physical document travels by courier only when an original is required for attestation. Where the document has to be collected in person from a Kolkata office, we go with a signed authorisation from you.

Prices depend on the document, the language pair and the destination authority, so we quote each file individually. Send us a scan and you will have a fixed price and a timeline, usually within one working day.
