French is the second most common foreign language spoken at home in Co. Mayo, heard in Irish-French families, among European professionals and in households from Francophone Africa. If a copie intégrale, diplôme or jugement must be read in English by a Mayo body, we translate it into certified English for €29.95 per page. French orders from Mayo of one to three pages are usually emailed back within 24 hours.
In Co. Mayo, 1,080 people spoke French at home at Census 2022, a figure for the whole county.
Nationally, more than half of French home speakers were born in Ireland, according to Census 2022, so many are Irish-French families rather than recent arrivals. In Mayo, their documents often relate to children's schooling, marriages, property in France and studies at ATU, alongside civil records from France, Belgium and Francophone Africa that registrars and colleges need to read in English.

Mayo residents who own or inherit property in France may need French notarial deeds or wills in English for an Irish solicitor. We translate the French deeds and wills in full. Where the Probate Office needs an affidavit of translator, your solicitor can advise how it should be sworn.
Applicants from France or Belgium to ATU's nursing or social care programmes in Castlebar translate their baccalauréat and relevé de notes. We keep marks out of 20 and the specialty subjects.
Doctors trained in Cameroon, DR Congo or Côte d'Ivoire who take posts at Mayo University Hospital register with the Medical Council. We translate the doctorat en médecine and transcripts, stamped with our name and address.
Irish-French families in Mayo applying for a child's Irish passport may need a French birth certificate translated. Passport Office guidance calls for a certified translation into English or Irish, and ours meets that description.
Jugement d’adoption plénière
Irish-French families in Mayo who adopted a child in France may need the adoption judgment for an Irish passport or citizenship through a parent. A full adoption in France replaces the original birth record, and we translate the judgment's operative part.
Relevé de notes
French and Belgian students applying to nursing or social care at the Castlebar campus may need to show university or school results. The relevé lists each unit with a mark out of 20 and its ECTS weight, all kept as printed.
Convention de divorce par consentement mutuel
Since 2017 many French divorces are signed by both lawyers and lodged with a notary, with no court judgment. A Mayo registrar reviewing an earlier marriage may need the agreement and the notary's certificate of deposit.
For a French divorce by mutual consent, ask the notary for the attestation de dépôt as well as the signed agreement, because the registrar in Castlebar may want proof that the divorce took effect. Upload both together. French agreements can run to many pages, so check with the registrar whether they need the full convention or only the main pages.
