Brazilian and Portuguese residents in Drogheda bring certidões that Irish offices need in English, from a certidão de nascimento for the registrar to a CNH for an insurer. We translate them into certified English, keep accents intact and note any apostille already attached. Drogheda clients order online at €29.95 per page and usually receive the signed PDF by email within 24 hours.
Census 2022 found 727 people speaking Portuguese at home in Co. Louth; the number is for the whole county and includes Drogheda.
Most Portuguese speakers in Louth are Brazilian, part of the national surge that doubled the language's numbers between 2016 and 2022, with a smaller group from Portugal. Brazilian documents sit outside the EU system, so a birth certificate used for marriage notification may need an apostille from Brazil as well as an English translation. Requests from Drogheda tend to involve study, care work and marriage.

The HSE may ask Brazilian partners to bring an apostilled certidão de nascimento to marriage notification. We translate the certidão and the apostille page together, so the Drogheda registrar has one consistent English document.
Brazilians starting a QQI Level 5 course at DIFE may be asked for the Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio and its histórico escolar in English. We translate both, with every grade as printed.
An insurer or car hire desk in Drogheda may want a translated Carteira Nacional de Habilitação. We translate the categories and dates; whether the licence can be exchanged is a question for NDLS, not us.
Clients from Portugal often hold a Cartão de Cidadão and civil records with EU multilingual forms. For some Irish offices those forms replace a translation; where a Drogheda employer or solicitor wants English, we translate the full record.
Certidão de Nascimento em inteiro teor
Brazilian families in Drogheda applying for Irish citizenship need the birth record in English for ISD. Ask the cartório for a recently issued inteiro teor version, since it shows the parents' full names and every later averbação, and we translate each one.
Diploma de Bacharel em Enfermagem
Brazilian nurses preparing an NMBI application for a Lourdes post send the degree, the histórico with clinical hours and a statement from their regional COREN. Hour totals are where assessments usually focus, so we keep each figure exactly as printed.
Escritura pública de divórcio
A Brazilian partner who divorced at a cartório rather than in court holds a public deed instead of a judgment. The Drogheda registrar needs proof the marriage ended, so bring the deed plus the marriage certificate showing the divorce annotation, and we translate both.
Brazilian civil records for Irish use often need an apostille from Brazil, which you arrange there before ordering; we then translate the certidão together with its apostille. Ask a relative to request both from the cartório if you cannot travel. For marriage notification in Drogheda, allow extra weeks for post from Brazil on top of the three-month notice period.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Portuguese translation, with free delivery by email. Add a hard copy by tracked post (€14.95) or an apostille for use abroad (from €149.95) at checkout. See all services.
