What kind of translation does France require for foreign-language documents submitted to authorities?

France requires a sworn/certified translation produced by a sworn translator registered in France. Ordinary translations, or translations produced by a translator not registered in France, are not accepted and may be rejected. A France-registered sworn-translation service is needed where foreign documents (e.g. proof of address used in incorporation or amendments) must be filed.

How recent must a French KBIS extract (Extrait KBIS) be when submitted for a company filing?

A KBIS extract must be dated within the last 3 months at the time of submission. A KBIS older than 3 months is generally rejected by the French registry/authority.

In a company change such as director removal, does the person being removed need an e-signature?

No. A director who is being removed and who does not need to sign any documents during the change process does not require an e-signature, since they will not be signing anything now or in the future. Only signatories who must actually sign documents need an active e-signature.
