Certified translation for immigration and citizenship

Documents we can translate

We work with birth and marriage certificates, divorce documents, police clearance certificates, qualifications, employment records, financial documents and other supporting material. You can send a set together for one quotation.

Names and dates may appear across several records. Let us know the spelling used on your passport and share any instructions from your solicitor or the authority receiving the documents. We can use that information when preparing your translations.

What does immigration require?

Requirements vary by application. Irish Immigration Service Delivery provides guidance on certified translations, including confirmation of accuracy and details of the translator or translation company. Check the instructions for your particular application and send them to us if you have them.

A certified translation confirms the accuracy of the translation. It is different from a certified copy of an original. Your application may require you to submit the source document, an original or a separately certified copy as well as the translation.

How the process works

1. Send legible scans or photographs of every page that needs translation.
2. Tell us the receiving authority, target language and application deadline.
3. We confirm the price and expected delivery date before work begins.
4. We translate, check and certify the agreed documents and deliver them in the format confirmed in your quote.

Some public documents may be eligible for a multilingual standard form. Depending on the document and the receiving authority, that may remove the need for a separate translation. Check the current rules for your application.

If the spelling of a name differs between a passport and an older certificate, mention it when requesting your quote. This helps the translator identify the difference and raise a query rather than silently assume the two forms are interchangeable.
