Simplified Explanation of a Document

French administrative documents often use complex legal and administrative terminology, even for native French speakers. This service helps you understand any document in simple, clear language, regardless of its type.

This page explains how this service works, what information you'll need to provide, plus a tool to start your request automatically.

When do you need this service?

• You received a document with complex administrative or legal terms;
• You need to understand a contract or agreement before signing;
• You want to understand terms or obligations mentioned in an official document;
• You need a simplified explanation to share with a family member.

In all these cases, our service helps you clearly understand the document before making any decision.

Information needed to start

• A copy or photo of the document concerned;
• Your preferred language for the explanation;
• Any specific point you want to focus on in the explanation.

The clearer the document provided, the more accurate and suitable the explanation for your need.

How this service works

Note: our service helps you understand French documents or draft replies in French, since official correspondence with French administrations must remain in French.
