Every Employment Reference Translation Includes

No add-ons hidden in the small print. Everything below is standard.

Signed Certificate of Accuracy

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.

Word-for-Word Accuracy

The employer’s name, registration number and address, your name and ID number, every job title and grade, start and end dates, working hours, duties, salary and allowances where stated, the reason employment ended, the evaluation wording, the signatory’s name and position, company stamps and the date of issue.

Professional Translator

A native speaker with experience in your exact document type, never machine translation. The same translator across all your documents on request.

Stamp & Reference Number

Every certificate carries our company stamp and a unique reference number, which several Irish registration bodies and the Foreign Births Register ask to see.

Digital PDF, Hard Copy Optional

Emailed as a PDF on completion. Where the receiving body wants paper, add a hard copy sent by tracked post at checkout.

Free Revisions & Guarantee

Free revisions until you are happy. If a receiving body rejects the translation, we revise it free or refund you in full.

Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Work Certificate Format

In several countries an employment record is a statutory document with fixed fields, not a letter. Knowing what each field means lets us translate it so an Irish reader sees exactly what was certified.

🇵🇱 Poland · Świadectwo pracy

A statutory certificate under the Kodeks pracy listing periods of employment, position, working time, leave taken and the legal basis for termination by article number. We keep the article references, because they show how the job ended.

🇩🇪 Germany · Arbeitszeugnis

German references use a coded grading scale: stets zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit is top marks, while zu unserer Zufriedenheit is only average. We translate literally and can add a translator’s note explaining the grade.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Carteira de Trabalho (CTPS)

The work card, now mostly digital, lists each contrato de trabalho with admission and dismissal dates, CBO job code and salary. We translate each entry and keep the CNPJ of every employer.

🇺🇦 Ukraine · Трудова книжка

The labour book holds handwritten entries over a whole career, each with an order number and stamp. We transcribe every entry in order, including corrections, and flag illegible stamps rather than guessing.

🇪🇸 Spain · Informe de vida laboral

The social security work-life report lists every employer, régimen and the days contributed. It is often paired with a certificado de empresa; we translate both so dates and employers line up.

🇷🇴 Romania · Adeverință de vechime

A seniority certificate drawn from the employer’s Revisal records, showing each role, COR occupation code and length of service. We keep the COR codes, which Irish regulators can use to compare roles.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate employment references into English for Irish employers and regulators, and Irish references into other languages for jobs abroad. A professional translator keeps titles, dates and evaluation wording exact, a second check confirms names and figures, and you get a signed, stamped certified translation by email.

FAQs

Employment Reference Translation: Common Questions

Do I need a certified translation of my employment reference?+
If the reference is not in English or Irish and it is going to a regulator, a grant body or a lender, yes. Employers may accept an informal translation, but a certified one avoids questions.
How much does it cost?+
€29.95 per page (300 source words). Most references and salary letters are one page.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for one to three pages. A labour book or a long career file takes longer, and a 12-hour expedited service is available on request.
Will you explain what a German reference grade really means?+
Our translation stays literal, but we can add a short translator’s note explaining the conventional meaning of grading phrases, so an Irish reader does not miss that a line is meant as praise or as a warning.
Can you translate a whole Ukrainian or Russian labour book?+
Yes. We translate every entry in order, including stamps, corrections and order numbers. You can upload photos of each spread and we calculate the price from the word count.
Does CORU accept translated work experience documents?+
CORU asks for work experience evidence confirmed by your employer. Our certified translation carries a signed statement of accuracy, our stamp and contact details; the employer’s own signature and stamp stay on the original.
Can you translate my Irish reference into another language?+
Yes. We translate Irish references, contracts and Employment Detail Summaries into Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and 100+ other languages for employers abroad.
