The MDPH, the CDAPH and the CMI
In France disability is assessed by the departmental disability centre (MDPH). Its commission, the CDAPH, sets a disability rate (taux d'incapacité) using an official scale and decides on cards and benefits. Since 1 January 2017 the card it awards is the mobility inclusion card (carte mobilité inclusion, CMI), which can carry the mention invalidité (a rate of at least 80 %, or a third-category invalidity pension), priorité (a lower rate where standing is painful) or stationnement (parking).
The CMI is granted definitively when the rate is at least 80 % and the condition cannot improve, or for people in the two highest-dependency groups of the national autonomy scale (GIR 1 or 2); otherwise it is granted for 1 to 20 years. The card is produced and posted after the decision, using a photo the holder supplies. Its mention and dates are translated exactly as printed.
The decision letter carries the detail
The card shows the mention, not the reasons. A US school, employer, insurer or benefits office usually learns more from the CDAPH's notification of decision, which states the rate band, the rights granted and their duration. We translate the decision and the card together and keep the rate exactly as written. Before deciding, the MDPH may call you to an assessment by a team of doctors, occupational therapists, psychologists or social workers; if you hold their reports, they are translated too.
Older paper cartes d'invalidité still circulate; they remain valid until 31 December 2026, and Service-Public has reminded holders to apply for a CMI before then. If your file holds both the old card and the new CMI, we translate both. If you hold one, it is translated the same way, with its expiry note. See also the French medical records page, the Haitian page, the general disability certificate page and our French page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My card says CMI invalidité.
That mention requires a disability rate of at least 80 % or a third-category invalidity pension. We translate it as printed.
I have the old carte d'invalidité.
It remains valid until 31 December 2026. We translate it the same way.
Should I send the decision letter too?
Usually yes: it gives the rate band and duration, which the card does not.
