Co. Carlow had 2,463 Polish speakers at home at Census 2022, almost four times the next foreign language, Romanian, though the figure covers the whole county.
Polish families have lived in Co. Carlow for years, and many now have children born here. Their documents reflect a settled life: Child Benefit claims with a Polish birth record, Matura results for SETU or Carlow College, degrees for roles with local pharmaceutical employers, and occasionally a Polish judgment in a District Court case. We keep Polish letters such as ł, ś and ż intact.

Carlow parents claiming Child Benefit for a child born in Poland send the odpis aktu urodzenia with a certified translation. The Department also asks for a verified copy of the original, which is a separate step from our translation.
Polish students applying to SETU Carlow translate the świadectwo dojrzałości and the OKE results sheet. We keep each subject, level and percentile exactly, so admissions can match it to entry requirements.
Carlow graduates of Polish universities sometimes ask QQI NARIC to compare their degree to the Irish framework. We translate the dyplom and suplement do dyplomu, which QQI asks to see in an official translation.
A Polish birth certificate or custody ruling may form part of a District Court guardianship case at Court Place. We translate the document with every stamp. Your solicitor can tell you whether the court will also want a translator's affidavit.
Odpis zupełny aktu urodzenia
Polish families claiming Child Benefit after moving to Carlow send the Department of Social Protection the child's birth certificate. The full copy names both parents with their birth surnames, and a verified copy of the original is a separate Department requirement.
Karta przebiegu studiów
Polish graduates applying for a postgraduate course at SETU Carlow may be asked for a full list of modules. The karta przebiegu studiów shows each semester, subject, ECTS credits and grade on the Polish 2 to 5 scale, which we keep unconverted.
Decyzja ZUS o waloryzacji emerytury
SETU and Carlow College students applying for a SUSI grant may need to declare a parent's Polish pension. ZUS sends an annual indexation decision showing the gross amount, and we translate it so SUSI can count the income correctly.
Carlow families with children in school and a parent studying at SETU often need documents for several bodies at once: the Department of Social Protection, SUSI and the college itself. Order all the Polish documents together so names and dates are rendered the same way throughout. Remember that Child Benefit also needs a verified copy of the original, which we do not supply.
