Our translations are produced and reviewed for accuracy, but the only legally binding version of French law is the French original. For court, registry or contractual use we offer lawyer-reviewed or sworn certified translations on request.

No. Reading and searching the codes is free with no login. Paid services — certified translation and the legal application report — are entirely optional.
