Arabic speakers across Dublin come from Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Jordan and beyond, and each country's documents look different. We translate birth certificates, ikhraj qaid extracts, marriage contracts, Tawjihi results and medical degrees into certified English for €29.95 per page, matched to the issuing country's format. Most one- to three-page orders reach you by email within 24 hours, with names spelt as in your passport.
Census 2022 recorded 10,671 people speaking Arabic at home across the four Dublin council areas.
Nearly half of Ireland's Arabic speakers live in the four Dublin council areas, spread across Dublin City and the suburbs of Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. Many are doctors and pharmacists working in Dublin hospitals, others are families rebuilding life after conflict, and a younger generation is moving through Irish schools. Their paperwork includes Medical Council files, marriage contracts, citizenship applications and Circuit Court family law exhibits.

Doctors from Sudan, Egypt or Iraq joining St James's, Beaumont or Tallaght often hold a degree that is partly in English. We translate the Arabic parts, internship certificates and good-standing letters, each stamped and signed as the Medical Council asks.
A divorced partner giving marriage notification in Dublin brings the وثيقة طلاق and often the original عقد زواج. We translate both documents, including the mahr, the witnesses and every Sharia court or registry stamp.
Separation, custody or divorce applications at the Dublin Circuit Family Law Office can turn on a marriage contract or a Sharia court ruling. Court rules ask for a translator's affidavit with the translation, and your solicitor can explain how that affidavit is to be handled.
Students applying to UCD or TU Dublin with a Jordanian Tawjihi or Egyptian Thanaweya Amma need their subject scores in English. We keep totals and percentages exactly as printed, so admissions staff can place the result.
إخراج قيد عائلي
Syrian and Lebanese families in Dublin often rely on an ikhraj qaid to show who belongs to the household, for example in citizenship or family reunification files at ISD. We translate every name, the registry number and the marital status column.
كشف درجات
Graduates from Egypt, Jordan or Iraq applying for postgraduate study at Trinity or UCD need their university transcript in English. We translate each course, the credit hours and the grade, keeping the percentage or letter scale so admissions can compare it.
صحيفة الحالة الجنائية
Doctors, nurses and carers from the Arab world taking jobs at St James's, the Mater or Dublin nursing homes may need a police record from every country where they have lived as adults. We translate the Arabic certificate with its stamps and reference number.
One Arabic name can reach English in several spellings, so a Dublin file may show Mohammed, Muhammad and Mohamed for one person. Send us your passport with the documents and we will spell your name exactly as it appears there. Documents from Syria, Iraq or Egypt are non-EEA, so ask the Dublin office whether it needs legalisation or an apostille added at home first.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Arabic 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.
