Arabic speakers in Cork include doctors and pharmacists at Cork hospitals, postgraduate students at UCC, and families from Syria, Sudan, Iraq and Egypt making a life in the city and county. We translate birth certificates, marriage contracts, ikhraj qaid extracts, Thanaweya Amma results and medical degrees into certified English for €29.95 per page. One to three pages usually reach Cork clients by email within 24 hours.
Across Co. Cork, 1,955 people speak Arabic at home (Census 2022), the combined count for Cork City and Cork County.
Cork's Arabic-speaking community is small compared with Dublin's but varied, and each country brings its own document formats and naming conventions. Health professionals need registration files, families need marriage contracts and birth records for citizenship or a child's passport, and students need school results for UCC and MTU. Some clients also bring records that need legalisation or an apostille from the issuing country before a Cork office will use them.

Pharmacists from Egypt, Jordan or Syria planning to work in Cork apply to the PSI with a pharmacy degree, transcript and good-standing certificate. We translate the Arabic parts, including university and ministry stamps.
Arabic-speaking parents in Cork applying for a child's Irish passport may need to show their marriage with an Arabic عقد زواج. The Passport Office wants documents in English or Irish, so we translate the contract in full.
Students applying to UCC with a Syrian Baccalaureate, Jordanian Tawjihi or Egyptian Thanaweya Amma need their certificate in English. We translate each subject score and the overall total as printed.
Separation, custody or maintenance cases heard at Washington Street may rely on an Arabic marriage contract or divorce document. We translate it with every stamp. Your solicitor will say whether the court needs a translator's affidavit as well.
بكالوريوس الطب والجراحة
Doctors from Sudan, Egypt or Iraq taking posts at Cork University Hospital register with the Medical Council first. Arabic pages such as the internship certificate or a good standing letter need an officially stamped translation, while notarised copies are arranged separately.
عقد زواج
Couples from Syria, Jordan or Egypt living in Cork send ISD the marriage contract when a spouse applies for residence or citizenship. We translate the mahr clause, witnesses and court stamp; the original contract may first need legalising or apostilling at home.
شهادة وفاة
When a relative dies in Egypt, Syria or Sudan and leaves assets in Co. Cork, the solicitor handling the estate needs the death certificate in English. We translate the date, place and cause of death, and your solicitor will explain any affidavit the registry expects.
Arabic documents often combine a handwritten original with stamps from a ministry and an embassy, and every stamp belongs in the translation. Scan all pages, including the back of each certificate, into one PDF. For UCC admissions or the Medical Council, send the English-language parts too, so we can confirm the Arabic and English names match across the file.
