Portuguese speakers in Cork are largely Brazilian, working in hospitality, food processing, healthcare and tech or studying at UCC and MTU, with Portuguese and Angolan families too. We translate certidões de nascimento and casamento, Polícia Federal records, CNH licences and Diplomas de Graduação into certified English for €29.95 per page. Most one- to three-page Cork orders arrive within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 3,710 people speaking Portuguese at home across Co. Cork, a combined figure for Cork City and County.
Portuguese speakers more than doubled nationally between 2016 and 2022, driven by arrivals from Brazil, and Cork's Brazilian community is part of that story. Many are young adults building careers here, marrying, and starting families at Cork University Maternity Hospital. Their Brazilian documents need a full English translation for almost every Irish use, and sometimes an apostille from Brazil, while Portuguese EU certificates may come with a multilingual form.

Brazilian parents registering a baby born at CUMH may be asked for a certidão de casamento so both parents' details can be recorded. We translate it with the regime de bens and any averbação, ready for the Cork registrar.
Brazilian nurses applying to NMBI before working at Cork University Hospital send a Diploma de Bacharel em Enfermagem, the histórico escolar and a COREN certificate. We translate each document with clinical hours and our full contact details.
Cork employers in care, childcare and security may ask for a Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais from the Polícia Federal. We translate the validation code and issue date, so the employer can confirm the certificate online.
A Brazilian partner divorced by escritura pública at a cartório brings the deed and the annotated certidão de casamento to marriage notification in Cork. We translate both so the averbação clearly shows the divorce.
Diploma de Graduação
Brazilian and Portuguese graduates applying to UCC or MTU for postgraduate study send the diploma with its registration stamps and the transcript. We translate the reverse of the diploma as well, since the registro note there shows the degree was formally registered.
Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio
Brazilian teenagers who finished secondary school before joining family in Cork apply to Irish third level through the CAO. We translate the certificado and each year's histórico escolar, keeping every subject and grade, because the CAO requires a professional translation.
Certidão de Casamento
A Brazilian married to a Portuguese citizen living in Cork applies to ISD under EU Treaty Rights with the marriage record. We translate the certidão, its regime de bens and any averbação, and a Portuguese conservatória can often add the EU multilingual standard form.
If a Brazilian certidão is more than a few months old, some Irish offices in Cork prefer a fresh copy, so order a new inteiro teor from the cartório before booking appointments. Brazil is outside the EEA, so the cartório can also add a Hague apostille to the original there; we then translate the certidão together with that apostille.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Portuguese translation, with free delivery by email. Add a hard copy by tracked post (€14.95) or an apostille for use abroad (from €149.95) at checkout. See all services.
