Translation Agency in Ireland: Certified Document Legalization (Online)

Ireland has become a welcoming home for over 80,000 Ukrainians. The "Emerald Isle" has provided strong social support, but full integration requires navigating the local administrative system.

Obtaining a PPSN (Personal Public Service Number), arranging social welfare payments at Intreo centres, applying for HAP (Housing Assistance Payment), or confirming a medical diploma—all these steps require official translation into English. Irish government bodies (Department of Social Protection, Immigration Service Delivery) accept only documents prepared with Certified Translation. "Admiral" Translation Agency offers services nationwide—from Dublin to Cork and Galway. We provide translations that are guaranteed to be accepted by Irish officials.

Which Documents We Translate in Ireland

We cover the full range of documents needed for the Ukrainian community in Ireland.

1. For PPSN and Social Protection (Intreo / DSP)

This is the first step for everyone. To get a PPSN for children and claim Child Benefit, you need:

• Certified translation of children's birth certificates.

• Certified translation of marriage certificates (to prove family status).

• Documents related to housing (HAP applications).

2. Housing and HAP

Housing is the main challenge. To apply for the HAP scheme, County Councils often require:

• Translation of income certificates from abroad.

• Translation of civil status documents to confirm family structure.

3. Immigration and Citizenship (ISD / Justice)

For obtaining the IRP card (Irish Residence Permit) or applying for naturalization (Irish citizenship):

• Translation of police clearance certificates (for adults).

• Translation of birth and marriage certificates (Apostille often required for citizenship applications).

4. Work and Education (QQI / CORU)

• Medical Professionals: Translation of medical diplomas and certificates for registration with the Medical Council or CORU.

• Students: Translation of academic transcripts for admission to Trinity College, UCD, or for evaluation by QQI (Quality and Qualifications Ireland).

5. Drivers (NDLS)

• Translation of the Ukrainian driver's license for exchange at the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS).

Translation Specifics in Ireland: Certified Translation

The Irish system (Common Law) does not have the "sworn translator" system common in Continental Europe.

1. Certified Translation

Irish state bodies require that the translation be accompanied by a Certification Page (Certificate of Accuracy). This document must include:

• A statement that it is a "true and accurate translation of the original document."

• The full name and signature of the translator/agency representative.

• Contact details and the agency's stamp. "Admiral" Agency adheres strictly to these standards.

2. Apostille (Apostille)

For high-level legal procedures (citizenship, marriage), the original Ukrainian document must have an Apostille stamp. For initial social benefits (PPSN), the Apostille is usually waived, but it is necessary for naturalization. We provide this service "turnkey" from Ukraine.
