Lithuanian households are a familiar part of Drogheda life, from the estates along the Boyne to workplaces up and down the M1. When their records meet Irish systems, we translate the gimimo įrašo išrašas, brandos atestatas and court papers into certified English. Drogheda clients upload a scan, pay €29.95 per page and get a signed PDF back by email, with names spelt exactly as in the Lithuanian passport.
Census 2022 recorded 2,037 people speaking Lithuanian at home across Co. Louth, a county-wide total that includes Drogheda, Dundalk and the rural parishes in between.
Lithuanian speakers in Louth form one of the county's longest-established newer communities, and many Drogheda families now include children born at Our Lady of Lourdes. Their paperwork shows it: naturalisation applications, Irish passports for the children, marriage notification, and occasionally a Sodros pažyma confirming insurance years in Lithuania for a pension claim. We keep letters such as ė, š and ž intact in every name we render.

Lithuanian adults who have lived in Drogheda for years apply for naturalisation online and upload birth and marriage extracts. ISD asks for a translation from a professional service showing the translator's details, and our certificate carries all of them.
A partner who divorced in Lithuania brings the santuokos nutraukimo įrašo išrašas to the Drogheda registrar before the wedding. We translate the extract and any court reference on it, so the registrar can confirm the earlier marriage has ended.
Drogheda care homes and crèches may want a pažyma apie teistumą from anyone who lived in Lithuania as an adult, alongside Garda vetting. We translate the certificate, including its issue date and registry number, within a day.
Guardianship or maintenance hearings at Drogheda Courthouse on St Patrickswell Lane may rely on a Lithuanian birth or divorce record. The court rules expect a translator's affidavit with the translation, so check with your solicitor how that step should be handled in Drogheda.
Brandos atestatas
Adults applying to Drogheda Institute of Further Education for healthcare or childcare courses may be asked what schooling they completed abroad. The Lithuanian certificate comes with an annex of state exam scores out of 100, and we translate both sheets together.
Gimimo įrašo išrašas
Drogheda parents applying for naturalisation on behalf of a child born in Lithuania send ISD the birth record in English. Extracts ordered through the Lithuanian e-government portal arrive electronically, and we translate the version you receive, including any registry reference.
Rekomendacinis laiškas
Healthcare assistants applying to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital are often asked for references covering earlier care work. A recommendation letter from a Lithuanian care home or clinic is translated with the employer's company code and the signatory's title intact.
Lithuanian married surnames change form, so a woman might appear as Petrauskaitė on her birth record and Petrauskienė on later papers. Before a Drogheda marriage notification or a citizenship application, list every version of your surname in the order note, and we will keep each spelling exactly as printed so the registrar or ISD can follow the change.
