What does Irish immigration need from a certified translation?

Irish immigration guidance generally asks for a full English translation of any document not in English or Irish, with confirmation from the translator that it is accurate, the date, the translator's name and signature, and their contact details.

A translation that summarises a document, or one prepared by the applicant or a relative, is a common reason for ISD to pause an application and write back asking for more. Ours are complete translations of every stamp, seal and annotation, prepared by professional translators working to ISO 17100 and checked against the source before delivery.

Requirements differ slightly between visas, residence permissions and naturalisation, so read the document checklist for your specific application before you order. Irish checklists are admirably thorough, and ten minutes with yours now beats a letter from ISD later.

  • A complete English translation of the whole document
  • A signed statement that the translation is accurate
  • The date of translation
  • The translator's name, signature and contact details

How much does a certified translation for Ireland cost?

The price per page covers the translation, the signed certification and a quality check, and every document includes 2 free revisions. There's no extra fee for the digital PDF. Upload all your documents together and the online quote form shows the total for the whole set before you pay.

Which documents usually need translating for Ireland?

Civil records such as birth and marriage certificates, police certificates, and financial and employment evidence are the most common, along with academic records for study applications.

We translate from 120+ languages into English for join family visas, study and employment applications, residence permission renewals and naturalisation. A join family application often rests on a marriage certificate and a birth certificate, with bank statements and payslips or employment letters to show how the household is supported. The same translation can generally be reused if you make more than one application with the same document.

  • Birth, marriage and divorce certificates
  • Police certificates
  • Bank statements, payslips and employment letters
  • Degree certificates and academic transcripts
  • Change-of-name documents and court orders

How long does a certified translation for Ireland take?

Standard orders are delivered by the next working day. Rush orders are delivered within 8 hours. Everything arrives as a digital PDF by email.

Working days follow the UK calendar, so a standard order placed on a Friday afternoon arrives on Monday (translators get weekends too). If your appointment or submission deadline is tight, choose rush at checkout. The PDF can be uploaded with online applications or printed for postal ones.

How do I order a certified translation for Ireland?

Upload your documents on our online quote form, choose Ireland as the destination, pick standard or rush delivery and pay in euro. Your certified translation is emailed to you as a PDF.

If anything about the document is unclear, such as a faint stamp or a handwritten date that could be a 1 or a 7, we'll ask you on WhatsApp or email before we translate rather than guess.

We also prepare certified translations for USCIS and translations for New Zealand immigration. Start your Irish order on the online quote form.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Translation Ireland

Do I need a certified translation for an Irish visa application?

Generally yes, for any document that isn't in English or Irish. The translation should be complete, signed, dated and include the translator's contact details, which is what every VisaDocTranslation order includes.

Can I use the same translation for ISD and other Irish bodies?

Usually, yes. A certified translation of a document is the same whichever Irish body receives it, but always check the specific requirements of the organisation you're applying to.

Does the translation need to be notarised for Ireland?

Irish immigration applications generally ask for a certified translation, not a notarised one. If a specific body asks you for something more, check with them before ordering.

Do translations for Irish join-family visas need an apostille?

Sometimes. ISD's join-family checklists ask that translations made outside the EEA or Switzerland are attested or apostilled in the country where the translation was done. Our translations are made in the UK, so if that line is on your checklist, message us on WhatsApp or email before ordering to ask whether an apostilled translation is available. Employment and study visa checklists generally ask only for a full certified translation.

How much does it cost?

€19.19 per page for next-working-day delivery, or €35.99 per page for rush delivery within 8 hours, charged in euro. Every document includes 2 free revisions.

Can I translate my own documents for Irish immigration?

It's not advisable. Translations by the applicant or family members can be questioned, and an independent certified translation avoids that risk.

Is a digital PDF accepted?

You receive the certified translation as a PDF, which you can upload to online applications or print for postal submissions. If an office asks for something different, check with them first.

Which languages can you translate into English?

More than 120, including Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Polish, Romanian and Spanish.

Can I also use your translation in Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, so UK requirements apply there. For UK visas and other UK use, choose the United Kingdom as your destination on the quote form.
