Certified School-Leaving Certificate
Translation

Professional translators · any language · signed Certificate of Accuracy

Applying to CAO with a Matura, Abitur, Baccalauréat or Bachillerato instead of the Leaving Cert? CAO scores your results against its own tables, but only once it has your official results and, for most countries, your final-year school report, each with a translation. We translate both documents into English, keeping every subject, level and grade exactly as printed, for €29.95 per page, with most orders delivered within 24 hours.

Every School-Leaving Certificate 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

Candidate name and date of birth, school and examining authority, exam session, every subject with its level (basic, extended, intensive), written and oral components, percentages or points, coefficients, overall result, certificate number, signatures and official stamps.

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.

School-Leaving Certificate Translation Cost

Transparent, Flat Pricing

€29.95 per page of 300 source words. A school-leaving certificate is usually one page and a final-year report one or two, so most CAO applicants pay €59.85 to €89.85. Irish colleges do not ask for an apostille on the translation; one is only relevant if you are sending documents abroad.

€149.95
Apostille
Per document, digital delivery, for use abroad under the 1961 Hague Convention. €199.95 with a shipped hard copy.
€14.95
Hard Copy by Tracked Post
A printed certified copy with wet signature, posted to you. Add it at checkout. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request.

Where Irish Colleges Ask for It

Most EU school leavers meet the translation requirement through CAO, but the same certificate is often asked for again when you apply to a college directly or register after an offer.

Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country's School-Leaving Certificate

CAO's guide for EU/EFTA applicants sets out, country by country, which documents it wants. These are the most common certificates we translate for Irish applicants and the detail each one needs.

🇵🇱 Poland · Świadectwo Dojrzałości

CAO asks Polish applicants for the matura results and the final-year school report (Świadectwo Ukończenia Liceum Ogólnokształcącego), both translated. We keep the poziom podstawowy or rozszerzony for every subject and the percentage scores.

🇫🇷 France · Baccalauréat

CAO wants your official relevé de notes with a translation, and states that web print results will not suffice. We translate the épreuves, coefficients and the mention exactly, since CAO uses the coefficients in its calculation.

🇩🇪 Germany · Abitur

CAO asks for the official Zeugnis der Allgemeinen Hochschulreife with a translation. We keep the Leistungskurs and Grundkurs levels, the points for each Halbjahr and the Durchschnittsnote exactly as the school printed them.

🇪🇸 Spain · Bachillerato

CAO asks for the official Bachillerato results with a translation. We translate each materia and its calificación, keep the modalidad, and include the PAU or EBAU (Selectividad) results where you are submitting them too.

🇷🇴 Romania · Diplomă de Bacalaureat

Romanian applicants send the diplomă de bacalaureat and the final-year results, both translated. We keep the probe scrise and the evaluation of competences, and the media generală to two decimals.

🇺🇦 Ukraine · Атестат & NMT

CAO asks Ukrainian applicants for the IEE/NMT results and the атестат, both with a translation. We translate the atestat subject grades on the 12-point scale and each NMT test score with its certificate number.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

Upload the certificate and your final-year report together so one translator handles both and subject names match. We keep the original's layout so CAO can compare it line by line, and you receive signed, stamped PDFs to upload to your CAO account straight away.

FAQs

School-Leaving Certificate Translation: Common Questions

How much does it cost to translate my school-leaving results?+
€29.95 per page of 300 source words. Most certificates are one page. With a final-year report, a typical CAO set is two or three pages. Same price for every language.
How fast can I get it for CAO?+
Standard delivery is 24 hours for up to three pages, which fits inside CAO's 10-day window for supporting documents. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request.
What does CAO count as an official translation?+
CAO says an official translation is one which is carried out by a professional translation service provider. Our translation carries a signed Certificate of Accuracy, our company stamp and full contact details.
Do I need to send CAO the original certificate?+
No. CAO asks for A4 photocopies, not originals, and will not return original documents. Keep your originals; upload or post copies of the certificate plus our translation.
Will you convert my grades into CAO points?+
No. CAO converts EU and EFTA results into points using its own published tables. We translate grades exactly as printed so CAO can apply them correctly.
My European Baccalaureate or IB results are in English. Do I need a translation?+
CAO asks for a translation only if the results are not in English. International Baccalaureate candidates can also ask their IB coordinator to give CAO access to results online.
Can I translate my Irish Leaving Cert for study abroad?+
Yes. We translate Leaving Certificate results from English into Polish, Spanish, French, German and 100+ other languages, and can arrange apostille certification if the university abroad asks for it.
