In Senegal, Mali, and Morocco, obtaining a certified French translation is essential when dealing with official documents intended for legal, educational, or administrative purposes. Each country has its own system for certifying translations, often involving government ministries or recognized translator associations.
Senegal:
In Senegal, French serves as the official language, and certified translations are typically required for documents not originally in French. The certification process is overseen by the Ministry of Justice, which accredits French sworn translators authorized to produce certified translations. These French translators affix an official seal to their translations, signifying authenticity and accuracy.
Mali:
Mali recognizes multiple national languages, however as of 2023, French is no longer the official language, though it continues to be widely used in official capacities. Certified translations are necessary for documents not in French, and the process is managed by the Ministry of Justice. Sworn French translators, authorized by the ministry, provide certified French translations, each bearing an official seal and signature to validate the French document’s legitimacy.
Morocco:
Morocco’s official languages are Arabic and Amazigh, with French commonly used in administrative and legal contexts. Certified translations are required for documents not in these languages, including French. The Ministry of Justice oversees the certification process, accrediting French sworn translators who are authorized to produce certified French translations. These French translations bear the translator’s official seal and signature, ensuring their acceptance by authorities.
