Who we help

Whether you're applying for citizenship or running a business — we've done this before

Ireland's non-English speaking population crossed 750,000 in 2022. Every person applying for a visa, registering a birth, appealing a protection decision, or recognising a foreign degree faces the same challenge — documents must be in English, certified, and accepted first time.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about certified translation in Ireland

A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy from the translator confirming the translation is true and complete. A notarised translation goes one step further — an Irish Notary Public or Solicitor verifies the translator's identity. INIS typically requires certified translation only; notarisation is usually needed for court use or documents going abroad via apostille.
Yes. We have a 100% acceptance record with INIS for naturalisation applications. Our translations follow the exact format, wording, and certification standards that INIS officers require, including a signed Certificate of Accuracy with the translator's full credentials and our agency stamp.
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for most personal documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearances). Same-day delivery is available if you submit before 11am. For complex legal or technical documents, we'll confirm an exact timeline when you request your quote.
An apostille is a certificate issued by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) that authenticates the signature of a Notary Public on your translated document. You need an apostille when you're using an Irish document in another country that has signed the Hague Convention (such as the US, Australia, UAE, and 83 others). We handle the full apostille submission to the DFA — you don't need to visit any government office.
No — for certified translation, a clear scan or high-resolution photo of your document is sufficient. We work from digital copies. If you need notarisation or apostille, we will need the original physical document at the notarisation stage, but we can arrange collection and return by registered post.
We work with 100+ languages. Our most requested translations in Ireland are Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindi, Malayalam, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Spanish, and Chinese. We also handle less common languages including Tigrinya, Amharic, Dari, Pashto, Somali, and Bengali — frequently needed for IPO protection applications.
We take data protection very seriously. All documents are transmitted via encrypted channels, stored on GDPR-compliant secure servers, and deleted from our systems within 30 days of delivery unless you request otherwise. We never share your personal data with third parties. Our translators sign strict confidentiality agreements.
In the unlikely event that a translation we have provided is rejected due to an error on our part, we will correct and reissue it at no charge within 24 hours. This is our acceptance guarantee. We also review the rejection reason with you to ensure the resubmission is successful.
