Latvian speakers in Co. Mayo live in towns such as Ballina, Castlebar and Claremorris, and many have been in the west for years. When a Mayo employer, registrar or court needs a Latvian certificate, diploma or VSAA statement in English, we translate it into certified English for €29.95 per page. Latvian orders from Mayo of one to three pages normally reach your inbox within 24 hours.
At Census 2022, 451 people in Co. Mayo spoke Latvian at home, a county-wide count.
Mayo's 451 Latvian home speakers make up a settled community with long-term paperwork needs: naturalisation, mortgages, teenagers' college applications and, for older residents, Soviet-era records in Russian. Latvian names keep their gender endings and diacritics, and we reproduce them exactly so every Irish record, from the PPS number file to the citizenship application, matches.

Older Latvian residents may hold birth or marriage records issued before 1991 in Russian. We translate them for a Mayo registrar or the citizenship section, keeping names in their current Latvian spelling.
Latvian technicians moving to Castlebar or Ballina for manufacturing work may need a vocational diploma or employer reference in English. We translate them so HR can confirm the qualification.
Students with a Latvian atestāts applying to ATU in Castlebar translate the certificate and grade statement. We keep the Latvian 10-point scale and centralised exam results.
Anyone divorced in Latvia must show the registrar how the marriage ended before remarrying in Mayo. We translate the laulības šķiršanas apliecība or court decision in time for the notification appointment.
Laulības šķiršanas apliecība
Latvians whose first marriage ended in Latvia and who plan a Mayo wedding must show the registrar it is over. Latvian divorces can be granted by a court or, by agreement, by a notary, and the certificate records which.
Dzimšanas apliecība
Latvian residents of Castlebar or Ballina applying to naturalise include their birth certificate with a copy of the original. We copy the personal code and the civil registry office name exactly, as ISD compares them across documents.
Bakalaura diploms
Latvian engineers and scientists moving to Mayo's medical device plants may need their degree in English. The Latvian diploma names the programme and the qualification, and we use the university's English titles where they exist.
Whether a Latvian divorce was granted by a court or a notary, a Mayo registrar will expect the laulības šķiršanas apliecība itself, so ask for it rather than sending the case file alone. Latvia is in the EU, so request the multilingual standard form too, which the Civil Registration Service may take instead of a translation. If English is still wanted, we translate it within about a day.
