I have contacted another sworn translator and the costs are more reasonable than expected. After a hiatus (on our part), I have now completed the form and dropped it off at the mairie this afternoon. We went through all the paperwork to ensure nothing had been missed and it will go to the préfecture tonight. The translation came to €35 per document + registered post costs both ways. I asked the assitant at the mairie to photocopy the originals and the translations of the marriage and adoption certificates and for the photocopies to be certified by them. The French equivalent of these is free and the French administration has some difficulty understanding that UK citizens have to pay for theirs. Now we wait...

I have spoken to the Lot préfecture on a couple of occasions about it and again this afternoon to ascertain they would accept certified photocopies instead of originals. I also know they issued a 10-year card to a Belgian national a few months ago. The maire's assistant said to expect it within 3 to 4 weeks. But I understand this might not be the case everywhere.

Apparently, requests from non-EU nationals take precedence over requests from EU nationals, but she has just called me to confirm the Mr Clair's his file has been received and processed and that his carte de séjour is being printed.

It has taken seven weeks rather than the three weeks originally quoted, but it's done Clair, a Real Virtual French Person Ma Plus Belle Histoire d'Amour    Report
