Urdu-speaking families in Co. Cavan, many with roots in Pakistan, often need Irish bodies to read documents such as a Nikah Nama, a birth certificate or a NADRA family registration certificate. We translate them into certified English for €29.95 per page, keeping names consistent with your passport. A Cavan order of one to three pages is normally completed within 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 254 Urdu speakers at home in Co. Cavan, a county figure.
The Urdu-speaking community in Cavan is small but closely connected, with families in Cavan town and neighbouring towns. Pakistani documents mix Urdu and English, and the Urdu parts, such as the handwritten entries in a Nikah Nama or the stamps on a birth certificate, still need translating. Pakistan is outside the EU, so some Irish uses ask for the document to be authenticated in Pakistan first.

When the Pakistani spouse of an EU citizen living in Cavan applies under EU Treaty Rights, the Nikah Nama must be in English. We translate every column, including the bride's and groom's details and the witnesses.
Parents applying for an Irish passport for a child may need translated Pakistani marriage or birth documents. The Passport Office asks for a certified translation into English or Irish, which we provide.

A maintenance or custody case at Farnham Street may involve a Pakistani family court decree or talaq documents. We translate the decree and talaq papers in full. Your solicitor can explain how the translator's affidavit the court rules require is to be sworn at Farnham Street.
نکاح نامہ (Nikah Nama)
Pakistani staff at Cavan General Hospital or local food plants who want a husband or wife to join them send ISD the Nikah Nama. Our English version is certified and signed within the European Union, so for the visa ISD does not need it apostilled.

Parents registering a child who was born in Pakistan may need the birth record for Child Benefit or school enrolment in Cavan. The computerised NADRA version is often bilingual, while older Union Council records can be in Urdu only.
Pakistan joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, so check whether your Nikah Nama needs an apostille from Pakistan before a Cavan join family visa application; that step happens in Pakistan. Many NADRA documents are partly in English already, so send us every page and we translate only the Urdu parts. Choose tracked post, because ISD needs paper copies.
