Sworn translator in Toulouse · Certified translation for Haute-Garonne & Occitanie
Get your certified translation in Toulouse and across Occitanie without travelling. Our expert translators are listed with the Court of Appeal of Toulouse. A service designed for international students, researchers at Airbus, ISAE-SUPAERO, ONERA, and residents of the Pink City. Accepted by the Haute-Garonne Prefecture, the universities and the consulates.
Toulouse, France's fourth-largest city with more than 500,000 residents and close to one million people in the metropolitan area, is Europe's aerospace capital and a major university hub. The Pink City is home to Airbus (more than 27,000 employees in the region), ATR, Thales Alenia Space, ONERA, CNES, ISAE-SUPAERO, the University of Toulouse (more than 100,000 students), Sciences Po Toulouse, INSA Toulouse and Toulouse Business School. This concentration generates significant demand for certified translations: foreign diplomas for international students, civil-status records for expatriate engineers, professional documents for newly hired doctoral graduates.
Transdoc (part of the Legal230 Group) meets these needs with a fully online service, matched to the pace of a student and industrial metropolis. You upload your document, a court-registered expert translator listed with the Court of Appeal of Toulouse handles your file, and you receive the signed translation within 24-48 hours, followed by the paper original by tracked post.
Our translations are recognised by the Haute-Garonne Prefecture (1 place Saint-Étienne, Toulouse), the Court of Appeal of Toulouse (Place du Salin), the Toulouse Judicial Court, the universities Toulouse 1, 2, 3, INSA, ISAE-SUPAERO, and every administration in Occitanie.
Toulouse specifics: the Court of Appeal of Toulouse covers the departments of Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne. For Hérault and Aude, jurisdiction lies with the Court of Appeal of Montpellier; for Gers and Hautes-Pyrénées, the Court of Appeal of Pau. Our translators cover the whole of Occitanie.
Why choose an online service in Toulouse
The profile of Toulouse residents · many engineers, researchers and international doctoral candidates · makes an online service especially well suited:
Busy schedules among Airbus, Thales, ATR, Capgemini and Continental employees: blocking out half a day for a physical office simply isn't realistic.
Multiple orders for international families (spouse + children).
Residents of Toulouse's suburbs (Blagnac, Colomiers, Labège, Ramonville) or of towns across Occitanie (Albi, Montauban, Tarbes, Rodez, Auch), who avoid a round trip into the city centre.
A fixed, published rate, with no per-line billing or surprises.
Our online platform manages your order from submission through to tracked delivery, with no appointment, no travel, and the same nationwide rate.
