There were 934 Latvian speakers at home in Co. Louth at Census 2022, one of the larger Latvian communities outside Dublin, counted for the county as a whole.
Latvian speakers in Louth arrived mostly after EU enlargement, and many have since settled for the long term, so their documents now concern family and property more than job-hunting. Drogheda clients typically need a birth certificate for a child's passport, a marriage certificate for citizenship, or a VSAA izziņa confirming insurance periods in Latvia for a Department of Social Protection pension claim.

When a Drogheda resident approaching pension age has also worked in Latvia, the VSAA statement of insurance periods can help the Department of Social Protection account for those years. We translate the dates and codes exactly.
Older Latvian birth or marriage records issued before 1991 may be in Russian rather than Latvian. We translate either language, so a Drogheda family can send one order covering a parent's Soviet certificate and a child's modern one.
A Latvian woman who took her spouse's surname may need the laulības apliecība to explain the change to Revenue, a bank or the Drogheda registrar. We show both surname forms, including the feminine ending, side by side.
Maintenance or access applications heard at Drogheda Courthouse can involve a Latvian divorce certificate or judgment. We translate the Latvian divorce certificate or judgment in full. Your solicitor can explain how the translator's affidavit that Irish court rules ask for is to be sworn.
Dzimšanas apliecība

VSAA izziņa par apdrošināšanas periodiem
Latvian workers in Drogheda nearing pension age may need to show years insured in Latvia. Latvia's VSAA sets out every insured period on its statement, and a certified English version lets a pensions adviser or the Department of Social Protection check those dates.
Izziņa par sodāmību
Care homes and childcare services around Drogheda sometimes ask for a police certificate from every country an applicant has lived in. Latvia issues it as an electronically signed file, and we translate the text and reference number from the PDF you send.
Many Latvian certificates now arrive as .edoc files signed with an e-paraksts signature. Open the container and send us the PDF inside for translation, but keep the original .edoc too, because an Irish employer or registrar may want to check the signature. If a Drogheda office wants paper, choose the tracked-post hard copy when you order.
