When someone dies abroad, the death is normally registered only in that country, so the foreign certificate is the record Irish solicitors, banks, insurers and the Probate Office work from. We translate it into certified English, including the cause of death, the informant and the registrar’s details, with a signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy. €29.95 per page, most certificates delivered in 24 hours, handled with care by professional translators.
No account required. No commitment. Exact price in seconds.
Send a photo, scan or PDF of your death certificate 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.
Every entry is translated: the deceased’s full name, date and place of birth and death, marital status, last address, the cause of death as certified, the informant, the registering office and entry number, and any notes on burial, cremation or whether the deceased left property or a will.
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. Most death certificates fit on one page, and a separate medical certificate of cause of death may add a second. If the certificate supports a foreign-language will at the Probate Office, the will also needs a translator’s affidavit, so ask your solicitor how it should be handled. For use abroad, we arrange apostille certification on our translation at €149.95 digital or €199.95 with a hard copy.
Citizens Information describes the death certificate as an important legal document, frequently needed in Ireland to deal with the estate. These are the places a translated foreign certificate usually goes.
An application to prove a will in terms of a translation lists a death certificate or coroner’s certificate among the required papers. Your solicitor will want it translated along with the will.
A joint account can usually pass to the surviving spouse or civil partner on sight of the death certificate. Above €50,000, the bank also needs a letter of clearance from Revenue.
If a policy names you as beneficiary, you claim directly from the insurer with the death certificate. A certified English translation lets an Irish claims team read a foreign certificate.
Widowed partners giving marriage notification bring their civil marriage certificate and the late spouse’s civil death certificate to the Registrar, translated if not in English or Irish.
Widowed Irish citizens marrying abroad send DFA the marriage and death certificates of the previous spouse, with certified translations if the originals are not in English or Irish.
If an Irish citizen ordinarily resident here within the past five years dies abroad, relatives can voluntarily have the death recorded in Ireland. Ask the Civil Registration Service what it needs translated.
Same €29.95 per page whatever the language. These are the languages we see most often from clients in Ireland.
Death certificates carry medical and legal wording that must be translated precisely, because solicitors, banks and insurers read them closely. Here is what to watch for in the certificates we translate most often.
Issued by the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego. The civil record does not normally state the cause of death, which appears on the separate medical karta zgonu. If an Irish insurer asks for the cause, send both and we translate them together.
Issued by the Starea Civilă office, it records the deceased’s personal numeric code (CNP) and last domicile, which we reproduce exactly so the certificate matches other records. As an EU document it may also come with a multilingual standard form.
Brazilian death certificates note whether the deceased left property (deixou bens), a will (deixou testamento) and children, plus the place of burial. Those entries matter to an Irish solicitor dealing with the estate, so we translate them exactly.
Older certificates are titled mirties liudijimas, while civil registry offices now usually issue an extract of the death record (mirties įrašo išrašas). Names keep their Lithuanian letters exactly, so they match the deceased’s accounts and documents.
The civil registry certificate is often accompanied by a medical certificate of death (лікарське свідоцтво про смерть). Older certificates may be in Russian; we translate either language and transliterate names to match Irish records.
The Comune issues an extract of the death record (estratto per riassunto dell’atto di morte) or a simpler certificato di morte. The extract carries more detail and is usually the better choice for probate. EU multilingual forms are also available.
Upload the certificate and any medical or burial documents that came with it. A native-speaker translator renders medical terms exactly as certified, without softening or summarising, names and dates are checked against the original, and you receive a signed, stamped PDF by email. A hard copy by tracked post can be added.
