Official Documents

Have you studied abroad and want your diploma to be recognised in France?

The diploma recognition application can be used for the purposes of continuing your studies, seeking employment or obtaining recognition for a French language course as part of a naturalisation application.

To be certified, the foreign diploma must be recognised by the competent authorities of the country where it was issued and attest to academic and/or professional training.

Applications for recognition are processed in chronological order of arrival. The average processing time for files is 4 months, but can be up to 6 months for certain particularly complex cases.

PLEASE NOTE: Diplomas linked to a regulated profession in France may be rejected in the first instance. Please consult us to find out if this applies to you.

Even if you are a foreigner, you can obtain a criminal record extract in France. The application is simple and you only need to attach proof of identity.

If you wish to submit a criminal record from a country you lived in prior to France, we can make this request for you. In some cases, it will be necessary to have your document translated and/or apostilled.
