Urdu-speaking families in Co. Longford, many with roots in Pakistan, live in Longford town and nearby towns. When a Longford registrar, school or court, or an Irish body such as the Passport Office, needs a Nikah Nama, birth certificate or court decree in English, we translate it into certified English for €29.95 per page.

Census 2022 counted 249 Urdu speakers at home in Co. Longford, a county-level figure.
Longford's Urdu-speaking community is small and family-centred, with many households raising children born in Ireland. The documents they need translated are mostly civil and family records: Nikah Namas, birth certificates, CNIC and B-Form details, and sometimes family court decrees. Because Pakistani forms are often printed partly in English, people assume they need no translation, but the handwritten Urdu fields carry the key facts, and we translate those in full.

Parents registering a baby born in Mullingar may be asked for their Nikah Nama as evidence of marriage. We translate it, and non-EU documents may need attestation or an apostille from Pakistan first.

A custody or maintenance case in Longford can turn on an order made by a family court in Pakistan. We translate the decree with its case number and seal; ask the solicitor on the case whether the court rules also call for a translator's affidavit.
وفات کا سرٹیفکیٹ
Longford families who lose a relative in Pakistan are sometimes asked by an Irish bank or life assurer for proof of the death. NADRA's computerised certificate is often partly in English, but Union Council versions can be handwritten Urdu.
When a Longford family law matter involves a Pakistani court order, ask the court in Pakistan for a certified copy of the full judgment, not just the short decree. Irish solicitors usually want the reasoning too. Pakistan is now in the Apostille Convention, so an apostille may be added there. We translate the judgment and its apostille together.
