Certified or sworn?

English-speaking institutions usually ask for a certified translation: a complete translation with a signed statement of accuracy. Ivorian institutions speak of sworn translation, signed and stamped by a translator registered on the official list of experts. Our sworn translations include a statement of accuracy in English, which meets most certified translation requirements. Check the exact wording your institution uses.

Do you even need one?

Documents in French are accepted as they are by French authorities, by IRCC in Canada, and by the US Embassy in Abidjan for visa applications. We check for free before you pay.

Legalisation

Côte d'Ivoire does not issue apostilles. Documents for use abroad go through legalisation at the Ministry of Justice, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the destination country's embassy.
