Polish families have been part of Dublin for two decades, and many now hold Irish passports, Dublin mortgages and children moving through Irish schools. When a Polish record has to reach a Dublin office, we translate the odpis zupełny aktu urodzenia, wyrok rozwodowy, świadectwo dojrzałości and ZUS decisions into certified English. It costs €29.95 per page, and most one- to three-page orders reach your inbox within 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 28,613 people speaking Polish at home in the four Dublin council areas taken together.
Unlike most counties, Dublin does not have Polish as its top foreign language, yet the capital still holds one of the largest Polish communities in the country. Many arrived after 2004 and have since reached the residence needed for citizenship, settled in suburbs such as Swords, Tallaght or Lucan, and seen children through the Leaving Cert. Their files now reach the Probate Office, the Four Courts, Dublin universities and the CRO.

When a Polish will covers Irish assets, or the deceased lived in Poland, the Principal Probate Registry admits the will in terms of a translation. We translate the testament and any postanowienie o stwierdzeniu nabycia spadku. Your solicitor can advise how the affidavit of translator should be sworn.
Joyce House expects the wyrok rozwodowy with its klauzula prawomocności before taking notification from a divorced partner. We translate the judgment, the finality clause and the court stamps, so the registrar can see the divorce took effect.
Polish-schooled applicants to Trinity College Dublin or UCD are assessed on their świadectwo dojrzałości, with each subject at podstawowy or rozszerzony level. We translate every level and percentage as printed, ready for the CAO.

Decyzja ZUS o przyznaniu emerytury
Polish workers approaching pension age in Dublin often combine Irish and Polish contributions under EU coordination rules. When the Department of Social Protection asks about a ZUS award, we translate the monthly amount, the insured periods and the date payment starts.
Order the odpis zupełny rather than the skrócony of any Polish civil record you will use in Dublin, because the full copy carries the marginal notes about surname changes and divorces that Joyce House and ISD staff look for. You can usually request it online through the gov.pl services, then send us the scan as soon as it arrives.
