Note 01Route summary

Immigration, citizenship and civil processes in Ireland require every non-English or non-Irish document to arrive with a certified translation, and a missing or non-compliant one sends the whole application back to the queue.

08Questions on file
Q01Will the translation be accepted by ISD?

Yes. Our translations carry a signed certification statement with the translator's credentials and are formatted to the standard Immigration Service Delivery and consular bodies expect, bound to a copy of the original.

Q02How fast can you turn it around?

Most documents are completed within 2 to 5 working days, and we can prioritise urgent cases on request without cutting the accuracy or certification the authority relies on.

Q03Does Ireland use sworn or government-accredited translators?

No. Ireland has no state register of sworn translators, so treat any claim of official government accreditation with suspicion. Membership of a recognised professional body such as the ATII is the credibility marker decision-makers actually respect.

Q04Which of my documents usually need translating?

Birth, marriage and civil-status certificates, police clearances, academic transcripts and some driving licences commonly need certified translation for immigration, citizenship and join-family applications.

Q05How much does a certified translation cost?

Certified translations are quoted per document based on length, language pair and turnaround, and we give a fixed price before we begin so there are no surprises.

Q06Do you provide stamped hard copies?

Yes. We supply both a digital certified translation and stamped hard copies where an authority requires a physical certified document with the application.
