Russian is spoken in Drogheda homes with roots in the Baltic states, Ukraine, Moldova and Central Asia. We translate the свидетельство о рождении, трудовая книжка and diplomas into certified English, with Cyrillic names matched to passport spellings. Order online from Drogheda at €29.95 per page, and most short documents come back by email within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 595 people speaking Russian at home in Co. Louth, a figure for the county rather than Drogheda itself.
Russian speakers in Co. Louth often hold documents from several countries at once: a Soviet birth certificate, a Latvian or Lithuanian passport, perhaps a Ukrainian diploma. That mix matters in Drogheda because EU and non-EU rules differ. We most often translate work record books for pension and employment checks, older birth and marriage certificates for citizenship, and higher education diplomas for professional registration.

A трудовая книжка lists every employer a Drogheda resident had before moving to Ireland. We translate each entry, stamp and date, which can help when the Department of Social Protection checks work abroad.
A birth certificate issued in the USSR can be presented at marriage notification in Drogheda. Depending on the country that now holds the record, the registrar may want an apostille, so check before your appointment.
Russian-language nursing or medical diplomas go to NMBI or the Medical Council with their supplements before a post at Our Lady of Lourdes. We translate subject hours and grades exactly as the institution printed them.
Russian-language contracts, messages or judgments used in a case at Drogheda Courthouse need a certified translation. For court use, ask your solicitor whether a translator's affidavit is also needed and how it should be sworn.
Аттестат о среднем общем образовании
Drogheda teenagers who completed school in Kazakhstan, Belarus or Russia apply through the CAO with the certificate and its grade insert. Grades run from 2 to 5, and we leave them unconverted so the admissions office applies its own scale.
Свидетельство о рождении
Many older Russian speakers in Drogheda still hold a birth certificate issued in the USSR, naming the republic and filled in by hand. The registrar needs it in English for notification, and we translate place names as written, adding the modern country in brackets.
Свидетельство о расторжении брака
Partners previously married in Russia give the Drogheda registrar proof the marriage ended. The ЗАГС divorce certificate shows the date the divorce took effect, and where a court granted it, bring the court decision as well so we can translate the pair.
Russian names can be transliterated several ways, so Sergei may appear as Sergey or Serguei on different papers. Give us the spelling from your passport and we will use it throughout. Russian records for Irish use may need an apostille from Russia itself, and arranging one from abroad can take a while, so start well before any Drogheda registrar date.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Russian 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.
