Certified Court Document
Translation

Professional translators · any language · signed Certificate of Accuracy

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.

Word-for-Word Accuracy

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.

What Irish Court Rules Require

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.

Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Court Documents

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.

🇵🇱 Poland · Wyrok and Postanowienie

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.

🇷🇴 Romania · Sentință civilă

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.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Sentença and Acórdão

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.

🇺🇦 Ukraine · Рішення суду

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.

🇱🇹 Lithuania · Teismo sprendimas

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.

🇪🇸 Spain · Sentencia and Auto

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.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

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.

FAQs

Court Documents Translation: Common Questions

How much does court document translation cost?+
€29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words), the same for every language. Upload the bundle for an exact quote. Each translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy with our stamp and a reference number.
How fast can you translate for a court deadline?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for 1–3 pages; larger bundles take longer, and we confirm the date before you pay. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request. If you need a hard copy by tracked post, allow for postage time.
What does a translator’s affidavit contain?+
Following the court rules, the translator sets out their qualifications, exhibits the foreign-language document and the original translation, and confirms on oath that the translation is accurate. Your solicitor can advise how it should be prepared and filed for your case.
Does the translator need to be Irish or registered with a particular body?+
No. Ireland has no sworn translators, and the court rules ask for a translator who is suitably qualified for the purpose, with those qualifications set out in the affidavit. Our professional translators work into their specialist language pairs.
Can the affidavit be sworn outside Ireland?+
The Superior Courts rules allow affidavits to be sworn abroad before an Irish diplomatic or consular officer or, where none is conveniently near, before a notary public. Judges have discretion, so your solicitor may wish to confirm this for your case.
Can the translator give evidence at the hearing instead?+
The District Court rules allow that as an alternative, with the translator verifying the translation on oath at the hearing. We provide written certified translations and do not attend hearings, so ask your solicitor which route suits your case.
Do you provide court interpreters?+
No, we translate documents only. Interpreting at a hearing is a separate service; ask your solicitor or the court office how interpreters are arranged for your case.
