Court-appointed experts in France
A French court can appoint an expert (expert judiciaire) to give an opinion on technical facts: a doctor on injuries, an engineer on construction defects, an accountant on a business. Each court of appeal keeps a list of experts in its area, and the Cour de cassation keeps a national list open to experts already on a regional one. A judge may also appoint someone not on any list, who must take an oath.
The expert's report (rapport d'expertise) describes the mission, the meetings with the parties, the findings and the conclusions. The judge is not bound by it and decides freely. Experts come from very different fields, from medicine and architecture to economics and finance. A firm can be listed too, and then takes the oath through a designated representative. Each court of appeal's list is open to the public at its registry.
Translating a report for a US case
US courts, insurers and immigration attorneys use French expert reports in injury, property and business disputes. We translate the whole report, including the court order defining the mission, the list of documents examined, the parties' observations (dires) and the annexes you send. Technical figures, measurements and medical terms are kept exactly; we do not round or summarise. Photographs and plans are translated through their captions and labels.
Where the report states the expert's listing with a court of appeal, the translation keeps that title as printed. A private report commissioned by one party is a different document with less weight, and we label it accordingly. If the report is long, ask your attorney which parts the US court needs before ordering. See the general expert report page, the Haitian 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
Is the judge bound by the expert's report?
No. In France the expert's opinion is advisory; the judge decides.
The report has 200 pages of annexes.
We translate whatever you submit. Ask your attorney which annexes the US court needs.
The expert is listed by the Paris court of appeal.
That title is translated as printed. It shows the expert is on that court's list.
