Can Bill 96 compliance be audited entirely remotely?
Yes. Most language obligations — website, online store, documents, contracts, HR, communications and advertising — can be audited remotely from your URLs and the files you share with us. Only physical in-store signage requires an on-site check, for which we provide a self-assessment checklist.
- Review of website, e-commerce, social media and advertising
- Document review: contracts, invoices, HR, legal notices
- Report with a compliance score and a prioritized action plan
- Translation of critical items by certified translators

Our method, 100% remote
1. Automated scan
Tool-assisted review of your site and public channels: FR version, metadata, forms, checkout.
2. Document review
You share contracts, invoices, manuals and job postings; we assess each point against the Bill 96 grid.
3. Report & action plan
Compliance score, non-conformities ranked (critical / major / minor) and prioritized fixes.
4. Correction & translation
On request, our certified translators handle priority items and we support your OQLF file.
Asiatis's role is documentary and linguistic. Our audit helps identify and correct non-compliant content; it does not constitute legal advice. For the official interpretation of your obligations, current penalty amounts, and the issuance of a francization certificate, consult the OQLF, government sources, or your legal advisor.
Frequently asked questions
Is a remote audit recognized by the OQLF?
The OQLF does not grant a label to private audits. Our report is, however, documented evidence of your compliance efforts — useful to structure your fixes and demonstrate good faith in the event of an inspection.
- Documented evidence of effort
- Clear prioritization of fixes
- Does not replace an OQLF decision
Which businesses are covered by Bill 96?
Obligations apply broadly to businesses operating in Quebec. Those employing 25 or more people for six months have enhanced obligations, including registration with the OQLF. Consult the OQLF for your specific situation.
- General obligations: site, service, communications
- 25+ employees: OQLF registration and francization process
- Confirm your case with the OQLF
What do you need from us for the audit?
Your URLs (site, store, social media), read access or screenshots of your advertising accounts, and sample documents: contracts, invoices, employee handbook, job postings, and packaging photos where applicable.
- URLs and read-only access
- Sample PDF documents / photos
- A precise checklist provided at order
Do you guarantee my compliance?
No. We identify gaps and correct linguistic content, but final compliance and the francization certificate are the OQLF's responsibility. Our commitment is the quality of the audit and the translations.
- Professional-grade audit and translation
- Concrete action plan
- Final decision: OQLF
