A supplementary birth judgment from Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire or the Congo is often legalised or apostilled by the authorities where it was issued before an Irish body will review it. That step belongs to the issuing country, not to us. Ask the court there for a certified copy first, then send it to us, and we translate the judgment with every certification stamp.
