Certified translation in Ireland

Documents we translate

We translate birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates; police clearance certificates; diplomas and transcripts; naturalisation and immigration documents; and records for employment or professional registration.

If your application includes several documents, send them together. We can quote for the set and use the information you provide to keep names and recurring details consistent across the translations.

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation is accompanied by a statement confirming the accuracy of the translation and identifying the person or company responsible. Requirements can vary depending on the authority receiving it.

Our certification relates to the translation. It does not establish whether the source document is authentic. A certified translation is different from a certified copy of an original, which may need to be made by a solicitor, notary or another authorised person.

If your application guidance specifies wording or a delivery format, send it to us with your document. We will take those requirements into account when preparing your quote.

How to order

1. Send your document. Provide a legible scan or clear photograph, the language you need, the receiving authority and your deadline.
2. Review your quote. We confirm the price and expected turnaround before work begins. We will explain the options and charges for any additional services.
3. Receive your translation. We translate and revise the document, or use a quality-managed post-editing and revision workflow, then prepare the certification. A digital copy and a printed, stamped and sealed copy are included.

You do not need to hand your original document to us for translation. Keep it safe: the receiving authority may ask you to submit it or a certified copy separately.

Notarisation and apostilles

Some documents used abroad need additional steps. Notarisation and apostilles are separate from certifying a translation. Tell us where your document is going and share any instructions from the receiving authority. We can discuss the process and, for an additional fee, handle the apostille step where appropriate.

Some eligible EU public documents can be accompanied by a multilingual standard form. Depending on the document and the receiving authority, this may remove the need for a translation. Check the requirements for your application before ordering.

A clear scan lets us see the names, dates, stamps and other visible content that may need to be translated. Check that the full page is visible before sending it, especially the edges and reverse side where relevant.
