Irish court rules are explicit: a foreign-language document relied on in proceedings needs a translation by a suitably qualified translator and an affidavit from that translator verifying their qualifications and the translation’s accuracy. Judgments, orders, pleadings, affidavits and evidence are translated into certified English for District, Circuit and superior court use; ask your solicitor how the translator’s affidavit should be handled. €29.95 per page, 24-hour standard turnaround for 1–3 pages.
No account required. No commitment. Exact price in seconds.
Send a photo, scan or PDF of your court documents through our secure portal. We count the words and show you the exact price in euro straight away.
A professional translator completes your translation, and we attach a signed Certificate of Accuracy with our full contact details, company stamp and reference number.
Your certified translation arrives by email as a PDF, ready to submit. A hard copy by tracked post or an apostille can be added at checkout. 12-hour expedited service on request.
No add-ons hidden in the small print. Everything below is standard.
Worded to mirror the format Irish bodies publish: a statement that it is a true translation of the original, the date, the translator’s name and signature, and our address, phone and email.
We translate the court and case number, the parties, dates of hearing and judgment, the reasoning and operative orders, costs, statements on finality or appeal, and every stamp, seal and signature. Exhibits, correspondence and evidence are translated to the same standard, with paragraph numbering kept for cross-reference.
A native speaker with experience in your exact document type, never machine translation. The same translator across all your documents on request.
Every certificate carries our company stamp and a unique reference number, which several Irish registration bodies and the Foreign Births Register ask to see.
Emailed as a PDF on completion. Where the receiving body wants paper, add a hard copy sent by tracked post at checkout.
Free revisions until you are happy. If a receiving body rejects the translation, we revise it free or refund you in full.
€29.95 per page (300 source words); a judgment or evidence bundle is quoted exactly on upload. For documents lodged in an Irish court, the rules also call for a translator’s affidavit, so check with your solicitor how it will be sworn and filed. For a translated Irish judgment going abroad, we arrange apostille certification on our translation from €149.95.
Each Irish court has its own rules on foreign-language documents, but they share one approach: a translation by a suitably qualified translator, verified on affidavit. Here is how it works in practice.
Since 2019, a foreign-language document exhibited to an affidavit needs a written translation by a suitably qualified translator, exhibited to the translator’s affidavit, unless the Court directs otherwise.
Circuit Court rules, including family law proceedings such as divorce, custody and maintenance, follow the same model: a translation by a suitably qualified translator plus a translator’s affidavit confirming accuracy.
A foreign-language affidavit is translated into English or Irish, and the translator’s affidavit, exhibiting both, is filed at the same time. Without it, the affidavit cannot be used in evidence.
Superior court affidavits can be sworn abroad before an Irish diplomatic or consular officer or, where none is conveniently near, before a notary public authorised in that place.
In the District Court, a public document covered by EU Regulation 2016/1191 and accompanied by a multilingual standard form may not need translating, if the Court considers the form sufficient.
Foreign-language contracts, emails, messages and reports exhibited to an affidavit fall under the same rules. We keep exhibit references and page numbers aligned with your solicitor’s bundle.
Same €29.95 per page whatever the language. These are the languages we see most often from clients in Ireland.
Court documents from abroad differ in structure and terminology, and an Irish judge reads the translation, not the original, so legal terms must map accurately. Here is what we watch for in common jurisdictions.
Polish courts distinguish a judgment (wyrok) from a decision or order (postanowienie), and mark finality with stwierdzenie prawomocności. We keep that distinction in English, so the Irish court knows exactly what kind of ruling it is reading.
Romanian first-instance civil judgments (sentință civilă) state whether they are final (definitivă) and may be followed by an appeal decision (decizie). We translate the operative part (dispozitiv) and the finality wording exactly.
Brazilian first-instance judgments (sentença) differ from appeal rulings (acórdão), and finality is shown by a certidão de trânsito em julgado. Send that certificate with the judgment, as Irish courts may ask whether the ruling can still be appealed.
Ukrainian courts issue judgments (рішення) and procedural rulings (ухвала), noting the date a judgment entered into legal force. Where you hold an electronic record, we translate the certified printout together with its verification details.
Lithuanian courts issue judgments (sprendimas) and rulings (nutartis). Family judgments often combine divorce, the children’s residence and maintenance in one document, so we translate every operative paragraph, not just the headline order.
Spanish courts issue judgments (sentencia), reasoned orders (auto) and procedural decrees (decreto), and mark finality with the word firme. We translate the operative part (fallo) and the finality declaration word for word.
Send the documents with your deadline and the court they are for. A native-speaker legal translator prepares the translation with paragraph numbering intact, and names, dates and figures are checked against the original. You receive a signed, stamped PDF, and a hard copy by tracked post can be added at checkout.
