Polish speakers form the largest foreign-language community in Co. Leitrim, living in Carrick-on-Shannon, Mohill, Ballinamore, Manorhamilton and the villages between. When an Irish body needs to read a Polish odpis aktu, świadectwo or wyrok, we translate it into certified English for €29.95 per page. Leitrim orders of one to three pages normally reach you within 24 hours, so a trip to a bigger town is never needed.
In Co. Leitrim, Census 2022 recorded 989 people speaking Polish at home, a county-wide figure.
Leitrim is small, so its Polish community is too, yet it is still more than three times the size of the next foreign-language group. Polish families here deal with the same institutions as everyone else: the courthouse at Carrick-on-Shannon, the county council at Áras an Chontae and Sligo University Hospital for maternity and acute care. Their documents are mostly civil-status records, qualifications and references.

Pełnomocnictwo w formie aktu notarialnego
Poles who own a home near Carrick-on-Shannon but are abroad when it sells may give a relative authority before a Polish notary. A Leitrim solicitor then reads the English version, which keeps the notarial register number, the repertorium entry.

Polish couples who have lived around Mohill or Ballinamore long enough to naturalise add their marriage record to the ISD file. The short Polish copy records surnames taken after marriage and the names given to any future children.

Poles joining older persons' services at the Summerhill community hospital or a Leitrim nursing home may need a record from Poland beyond Garda vetting. The National Criminal Register certificate can be requested online and arrives as a signed electronic file.
A Polish notarial power of attorney drafted for use in Poland may not describe an Irish property the way a Leitrim solicitor expects. Before signing it at home, send your solicitor a draft so they can confirm the wording, including the folio number from Tailte Éireann. Once the notarial deed is signed, we translate it with the notary's stamps and seal descriptions.
