When You Need an Apostille

An apostille matters only when a document is used in another country. For Irish bodies, a certified translation alone is the normal requirement. These are the situations where our clients need one.

Country-Specific Knowledge

Where Apostilles Trip People Up

Apostille rules depend on where a document comes from, where it is going and whether the translation or the original needs certifying. These are the points our clients most often ask about.

🇪🇺 EU member states · Often no apostille

Under EU Regulation 2016/1191, public documents such as birth, marriage and criminal record certificates need no apostille between EU countries, and a multilingual standard form can replace the translation. Diplomas and company documents are not covered.

🇵🇱 Poland · Check who must translate

Some Polish offices accept only translations made by translators appointed in Poland, whatever apostille is attached. Ask the Polish office before ordering, so you pay for the route it will actually accept.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Digital apostilles

Brazilian apostilles are issued digitally with a QR code for verification. When a Brazilian document comes to Ireland, we translate the apostille block too, so the whole package reads in English.

🇨🇳 China · Joined in 2023

The Hague Convention took effect for China on 7 November 2023. Documents issued earlier often carry consular legalisation stamps instead, which we translate as they are; newer ones carry an apostille.

🇵🇰 Pakistan · Joined in 2023

The Convention took effect for Pakistan in March 2023, replacing the older attestation chain for documents going to other member countries. Older papers may still show attestation stamps, which we translate in full.

🇮🇪 Irish documents · A separate route

An apostille on a translation of an Irish document, issued in Ireland, requires a translator registered in Ireland and an Irish notary. We do not offer that route; an Irish notary public can advise you on it.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate your document into the language the destination country needs, certify it with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and our stamp, then arrange apostille certification on the translation. Everything is delivered together, digitally or as a hard copy by tracked post, so you can send it straight to the foreign office.

FAQs

Apostille Translation: Common Questions

What is an apostille and when do I need one?+
An apostille is a certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates a public document for use in another member country. You need one only when the foreign authority asks for it. For use in Ireland, a certified translation is normally enough.
How much does it cost?+
Certified translation is €29.95 per page (300 source words). Apostille certification is €149.95 per document with digital delivery or €199.95 with a hard copy by tracked post.
How long does it take?+
The translation follows our standard 24 hours for one to three pages. The apostille step adds processing time, which we confirm when you order. A 12-hour expedited translation is available on request.
Can you apostille a translation of my Irish certificate in Ireland?+
No. An apostille issued in Ireland on a translation of an Irish document requires a translator registered in Ireland and notarisation by an Irish notary, which we do not provide. We arrange apostille certification on our own certified translations for use abroad. An apostille on your original can only come from the country that issued it; you obtain it there, and we then translate the document together with its apostille.
Should the apostille go on the translation or the original?+
It depends on the destination. Some countries want the original apostilled, some the translation, some both. Ask the receiving authority first. Our service puts the apostille on our translation for use abroad. An original is apostilled only by the country that issued it.
Do EU documents need an apostille in Ireland?+
Usually not. EU Regulation 2016/1191 removes the apostille for many civil-status and similar public documents between EU countries. If your EU certificate comes with a multilingual standard form you may not need a translation at all; many bodies still ask for one, and non-EU certificates always do.
What if my destination country is not in the Hague Convention?+
Then consular legalisation is usually needed instead of an apostille. Contact us with the country and document, and we will explain the steps before you order anything.
